Since the standard cannot define everything (or else it would only be a standard for a subset of books), it must provide some placeholder elements for custom use, the equivalent the XHTML's <div> and <span>. Once you have them, the hell's gates are open and you can count on users and publishers indiscriminately using <div> and <span> to suit their needs, rather than all the carefully and meaningfully defined semantic markup.
