To take a slight detour into the (hopefully not too) abstract, what do people think the fundamental point of semantics in HTML is? Henri has been talking about the possibility of making HTML5 more "semantically lax", and here Anne is interested in where it is not "semantically pure", presumably with a desire to fixing it. I'm not sure that these views are necessarily contradictory because I don't really know what people mean by "lax" or "pure". I also don't know which view best fits my position because I don't really understand what people are trying to achieve with (the markup in) HTML -- I think there are things I would change in the current draft, but there seems little point talking about which markup elements should or shouldn't exist without having some overall framework against which the merit of various proposals can be measured. -- "The universe doesn't care what you believe.
