Isn't one of the fundamental concepts of HTML that it supplies "semantic" information, but leaves it up to the display engine to decide how to display it? Eg, HMTL says "I want this text to be emphatic", but doesn't specify how that emphasizing should be carried out. That seems fundamentally at odds with the goal of typesetting, which is all about display, rather than meaning.
