RT @stevefaulkner: "The span element doesn't mean anything on its own" - HTML5 w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-s… @mollydotcom

Why do people think quoting specs makes their argument right? I am saying that HTML5 is NOT MARKUP @mpaciello @stevefaulkner

@mollydotcom your argument is too meta for me, i was/am talking about meaning as expressed in aural UI of HTML @mpaciello

@stevefaulkner @mpaciello I'm talking about how to express this to people you're talking about how to apply it. I'm meta. That's what I do.

@mollydotcom sure, my original tweet was clarifying how its application affects end users @mpaciello

@mollydotcom and how under some circumstances <div> will convey meaning to end users @mpaciello

@mollydotcom and how its placement in DOM or addition of attributes can give it unintended meaning @mpaciello
