This is one of the main reasons I like AngularJS directives. If used properly (huge caveat) they allow your template markup to take on far more semantic meaning. I also agree with the idea that we should use Mixins to allow for more semantic meaning in our plain HTML. As an added bonus, this can make things a lot more maintainable down the road.
