While I agree that html does not meet our needs. I don't think that a
conversion tool is out of the question as most people I know that hand code
html document do so without use of <p><h3>wwww</h3> wierdness that you were
talking about and composer style editors generate know styles. (Of course,
it's only as good as the user at the keyboard). In, lets pick a number,
80% of html out there could be converted with a conversion tool and then
cleaned up. Leaving the miss interpreted and plain ugly for the luckly
human.
