The problem is that the semantics of HTML are the semantics of trivial news/blogs. Didn't they say that when HTML5 came out that many of the tag names and concepts were distilled by looking at the frequency of class names used across the internet, and isn't most of the open, indexable internet blogs and forums. The semantics of the web and the semantics of an application are almost completely different, so those of us trying to ship actual applications over the web are torn between trying to find the closest possible HTML element and customizing it, resulting in non-standard behavior, or just rolling our own div with our own needs.
