HTML mixes up logical and physical layout when creating the simplest fiction elements: letters, titlepages, poems—they have to be imitated by CSS styles.

I'm afraid I have to disagree: that's what CSS is all about. Style names define semantics; style definitions define appearance.
I'd suggest starting a thread in the ePub forum if you'd like to pursue this interesting topic of conversation; it's not really appropriate for this thread.
