Yes it's one of the issues of HTML/XHTML which has different 
implications:

* The semantic of XHTML/HTML is not defined as a conformance 
requirement.
	Related: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2004Oct/0008
	It's a very difficult topic that I could explain a little bit more if 
people need it.
* How do we explain Semantics of HTML/XHTML?
* Do we need a best practices guide?
* Should this best practices guide be part of an XHTML Specification? 
or a separate document? or part of a collective effort for example done 
here on this mailing-list?
