What benefit is gained by moving semantics from XHTML elements to XHTML

style attribute and then arguing that we've now "separated" presentation
from content. Well, it's still in the same place. It's just done a
little differently.

I never said that allowed values of the semantics attribute shouldn't
be
predefined somewhere. They should be; much like allowed values of
