I think what's wanted is a Cascading Semantics Language. Its syntax
could be based on CSS. For example:
.masthead {
type:heading;
strength:high;
}
.division {
type:heading;
strength: normal;
}
.flow {
type:body;
strength:normal;
}
.aside {
strength:weaker;
}
Behaviours, script bindings, etc could be mixed into this.
