But you're looking at generated code, not written code. What you're suggesting is like criticizing the output of your C compiler for not following good assembly programming practices.
On the other hand there's good reasons for fixing the markup as pointed out elsewhere in this thread (accessibility, JS DOM manipulation, etc).
- bradleyland 16y agoThat analogy doesn't hold up, because HTML is not just machine code. The next iteration of the web requires that we think of HTML as a means to provide meaning, not just format for display. Generated code doesn't have to misuse constructs. You can just as easily generate a nested unordered-list with good semantic IDs and class names.
