No, but it's much nicer to use Markdown and friends for a lot of it.
Really, HTML is needlessly verbose and annoying - we're just used to it. If you take a look at something like HAML (not that I agree with all of their choices), you can see how much nicer it could be.

The XHTML experience should be proof enough that trying to enforce picky parsing rules or highly context-dependent syntax leads to breakage.
