All that has happened is that Lee has once-again confirmed that there are two camps of belief among readers of this forum. One group believes that they can simply do semantic markup "of everything" and then someone else can apply the formatting decisions later and everything will just "magically work." The other group doesn't believe this works, that on the contrary someone needs to make good "engineering judgment" decisions on formatting now rather than expecting someone else to do it later, and that in general there is not a limited set of semantic markups that can be uniformly applied such that the problem can be well-divided and the "engineering judgment" decisions about formatting can be made later. This second group says: "Hey, if the first group cannot even show good 'engineering judgment' about displaying their own semantic markup in an attractive and sensible way using ONE set of formatting decisions -- namely their own -- then how likely is it that their semantic markup is going to prove to be useful to someone else implementing a different set of formatting decisions at some latter date?"
