[long snip] If people want to continue to abuse HTML by embedding it in e-mail, they are free so to do; all I am suggesting is that HTML5+ does not need to be /designed/ for such abuses, since those wishing to abuse HTML in that way can continue to use HTML 4.01- (or, more likely, tag-soup) with no problems at all.
