HTML DTDs (transitional, strict) define elements, attributes, etc. HTML5? No DTD. XML apps (MathML, SVG) are defined, modifiable, extensible apps and subsets. Serve as XML? Draconian error handling! In Applied Linguistics Lexical semantics are literal. Pragmatics are contextual.

Theoretical and Applied Linguistics are very detailed and complex courses of study. That we even say semantic HTML is a terrible misnomer to the point I've had exploding head syndrome when I hear such meaningless terms, all puns intended. HTH :-)

It really does bother me as an educated linguist in lexical semantics among other related fields but I cope by making jokes interpreted as crazy talk except those who have a sense of humor such as yourself! Thank you LOL

My linguistic levity has been understood only at The New School for Social Research, MIT, Stanford, and a Trader Joe's in Tucson, Arizona while checking out groceries next to Noam Chomsky. He did not appear impressed. True story! 😛😛😛
