That's more of a bogosity than Appendix C!

* It requires a non-standard CSS extension to generate links, as
standard CSS can't create a href attribute on an <a>

* It abandons the little semantics that HTML (any sort) already has in
favour of a semantics-free XML that the browser no longer recognise as
being HTML-like. This is worse than the tag soup position.
