I feel a major problem here is that what we're using the medium for has evolved massively since it was first considered. The article suggests having special definitions for common elements, like header, footer and menu bars. What happens in 5 years, when those concepts are mostly obsolete and have been replaced by another way of doing things? That's how we ended up with the confusing model we have now.

- DanI-S 16y agoNo they don't; they carry on using them for entirely inappropriate things. Like tables for layout.
- lwhi 16y agoCSS doesn't define element types. HTML does. The proposed HTML5 spec. has definitions for many of these elements.
