I mean, this is the basis of web design, and the programmers' long-standing criticism of WYSIWYG text editing. Perhaps I worded it wrongly: content should be tightly attached to semantics, but it should be possible to switch out the particular rendering used for those semantics. LaTeX resumes always fail in that regard: for example, in the template given in this thread, the semantics of "measures of experience in different languages" is inextricably bound to the rendering choice of stars. Or even more basically, the semantics of "a job or educational position held for a period of time with summary metadata", is with a LaTeX template tightly bound to a particular layout. Of course it is possible to design a TeX/LaTeX macro system that gives you separation, but, in reality, TeX is very wonderful, but learning the guts of the underlying macros is always going to be a niche audience.
