Action item: HTML technique for using appropriate semantic elements

I took an action item to write an HTML technique to use the appropriate
semantic elements to mark up the structure. My proposal can be found in the
attachment. 

Originally, I had proposed writing this technique to cover other, less
known, semantic elements like KBD, ADDRESS, etc. However, these elements do
not seem to meet our definition of structure so do not belong as techniques
for 1.3.1. What bothers me about this is that these using these elements
does not seem to be required by any of our success criteria. I would like to
discuss that during the call tonight. I think we either need to revise our
definition of structure or need another success criterion about using
semantic markup. 

As it stands, the only elements I could find that were about structure as we
defined it but not covered by other techniques yet were <link> and <a> so I
used these in the examples.
