It also invites errors, e.g., ["style", "scoped"] (missing curly brackets)
But I think it's worse than just readability:
.) you cannot have text nodes that contain a string that could be an element
name, e.g., ["dl", ["dt", "object"], ["dd', "the base class of the type
hierarchy"]].
.) later on you cannot introduce new HTML elements, because someone might
have used that element's name as a text string with the above syntax.
