I think we reached that point some time ago. :-)

I wouldn't hold your breath for acceptance. HTML5 is, for better or for 
worse*, a tag soup language. It codifies many existing practices: good, 
bad, and arguable. If you want a language with simple, sane markup rules 
that you can plausibly teach, the answer is simple: XHTML[5].

(*: I would argue for worse, but that argument was held and lost a long 
time ago.)
