/me creates HTML 6.0

Just 4 elements
	html, div, span, a
and a few attributes.
	class, href, title, id, rel, etc

Human audience will be satisfied. A lot simpler to type. For the rest  
it is just a question of css and appropriate class. I would like to  
have role and about though, and I'm satisfied. Useless semantics  
[Henri Sivonen (c)] defined by profiles with values of attributes.

As a side note, the fact that human authors are the main users of the  
data doesn't mean that the rest of tools is useless.

And sincerely I do not think the addition of elements will solve many  
things for HTML.
