Semantics are almost always without authority, from what I can tell. E.g., by your definition if I write "When you go to the store can you pick up milk, butter, and toilet paper" I am being semantically incorrect, as I am using this "," thing to indicate items in a list instead of ul's and li's.
- RickHull 16y ago> by your definition if I write "When you go to the store can you pick up milk, butter, and toilet paper" In the context of a human conversation, the semantics of your list are apparent. In the context of HTML, the semantics are not apparent. An absence of semantics is not the same as semantically incorrect. To my understanding, something that is semantically incorrect would be more misleading than ambiguous.
