I think that depends on what you see the purpose of HTML to be.  I think 
you and I, and I believe TBL, have a higher view in that it is to help 
people to communicate, but I don't think that that is what the WHATWG's 
constituency wants.  They do want a presentational language, and they 
are in the vast majority.

Unfortunately, the average HTML author sees semantic markup as ivory 
towerism.
