And the inventor of HTML, who disagrees with you, is obviously an idiot.
You, who apparently don't even understand the difference between a tag
and an element, are ever so much smarter than him, so you must be right.
HTML was originally designed to mark up the meaning of content, period.
In it's latest versions it has gone back to that original vision, no
matter how often you say it hasn't.
If html tags are intended to tell a browser how to render an element,
why does CSS exist?
