This would make writing style sheets a bit more work. Also, it would 
eventually make us loose some information we already got in documents. This 
could be avoided by creating a new standard about possible values of the 
semantics attribute, their scope and meaning. But then again - how good are 
web designers at following standards...

My 2 cents
