To be very clear: I am NOT advocating XML over HTML. I'm not advocating at all. I am just showing the difference. Also, the reasons we split away from SemWeb in common Web apps and site dev. And to show how very detailed and complex data is expressed in Computational Semantics.

XML standards in medical apps is common. Dicom. Another is HL7. The barrier to entry is not low as #schema creation can take a long, long time. This time factor isn't as adaptive to a fast growing Web. Look at this document to see the #XML source in use.

I don't know re compilation but pipe up folks! I can address what computational linguistics and semantics are, and where we see the most mature expression of semantics is in well written #XML ontologies. Semantic Web, essentially. I have a perfect living example. I will share!
Hmm. I've heard of languages that compile down to HTML, like Elm. But would Elm be considered more "semantic" if its syntax and structure look more like Java or Scala than natural language? And would it necessarily be more "accessible" if it used keyphrases instead of tags?

Thanks ya both for clarifications and observations. It's all troubling me lately - abstraction may be fine for apps but content rich sites for Web? Declarative, please!

And now the Cascade isn't because inline styles and !Important to force the most specific rule. That is the cascade. Abused.

I can't disagree other than to say that professionals elsewhere follow core criteria: Medicine, Law, etc. There have been attempts. I do not know why it has never happened other than it's not championed by academia.
Forms and your point landed home. Checkboxes refreshing with every check? Radio buttons used for Checkboxes? I haven't done audits since 2013 so what is causing this? Most HTML is generated nowadays. Horrid stuff indeed.
And also, I SO SO strongly agree with your comment: "USED PROPERLY" which is to me a hurdle for the entire open web stack as no core curriculum for fundamentals.

We have some meaning and some structure, absolutely. So it's not useless, it's just limited. Divs are a great example. They do have a meaning: Division. But, 400 of them and meaning gets lost, so as you say, "not so much." So is it the over-div issue mostly for #a11y and HTML?
This tweet, posted almost a month ago, stuck in my brain. It begs a question of where that HTML came from? CMS? JS Frameworks? Is it down to awful structure? HTML was never that semantic and promises of better never evolved. Living standard, no adaptation?
HTML is anti-semantic!

Thank you! I'm so honored you listened. It goes back to the issue of none of us are just one thing, and the "What do you DO?" question asked at social gatherings is superficial nonsense. How about "What are your passions and interests? That's what I want to know about people.
There is some issue with very smart people getting way too famous and wealthy too fast. It does not usually end up well for anyone.
I'd take him if: Workers 1st. 80% profits for sustainable water and energy, and block any Koch/EPA/DJT mining which will destroy the Grand Canyon.

Elon Musk is pissed off at CA and is looking at AZ. It started a brutal yet hilarious thread yesterday of Arizonans posting pics of Gila Monsters, rattlers and my fave: A Javelina chasing a guy. The hate was deep, largely as "Right to Work" allows bad employers to be worse.

I pulled out Jersey girl street and went hardcore.
"Yo bruh, see that skinny bitch? Would you fuck that? No tits, no ass, no boobalicous."
"Bruh, that shit get you splinters you'll never get off that big ass useless dick of yours."
That was just the English version!
Ah, but if a social justice issue arises I can really go off the rails. It took 13 years of me trying to explain how to market to the extreme multicuturalism in the USA to folks who felt youth, blonde and thin appeal to all. I kept chill on their turf. But on US turf, I lost it!
LOL! So if we're clever we get a pass? I could work with that haha. Was it you or another lovely human helping me sort through all this who asked for 10 women names? I have a list now.
