That's true for almost everything. You cite tables for example. There is a stretch between a simple table and a full spreadsheet application. It's why we are here, trying to find something which satisfies communities and usages in a reasonable way and that will be implemented. If I say I need it. It will certainly not be enough to convince you. There's a question of balance. My previous messages are still input. Another way to deal with it is to have a more flexible extension mechanism, which helps people to build applications like microformats, RDFa, etc. There is always a way to do things. Some are a bit harder than others. Some people are fans of videos, some others are fan of texts. ;) each community has its own pet project.
