Content designers always want to be different from other designers, which means they will continually use markup languages in ways they were not designed to be used. The only language that would meet designer requirements would be a full function graphic programming language allowing them to construct arbitrary user interfaces. Not being a markup language would mean that you could not decorate it with the semantic information needed by assistive technology. In my view, the design imperative to be different frustrates usability because it requires users to continuously update their knowledge of design paradigms, which is not possible for everybody.
