That aspect has absolutely nothing to do with the technical format of a document.
- dredmorbius 5y agoThat's a large part of my larger point. It wasn't, however any aspect of the question you'd asked, and I'd answered. That said, and despite some quite strong semantic elements to HTML (and HTML5 especially), and the semantic/presentation separation of HTML/CSS, what we're getting, what seems to be encouraged by, and what the adtech-profiting browser vendor and driver of Web browser development seem to be encouraging, is not in fact well-structured, meaningful, high-value, high-relevance documents. You're absolutely correct that the core of the problem isn't the technical format. But the technical format's become infected by that core problem.
