You understand that much better than I do, and maybe you're right, but it seems a bit like fixing my glasses with electrical tape instead of getting a new pair (something I am willing to do for a while). As I say, it's all arbitrary and only depends on what people are willing to agree to into the future. If I no longer think of <i> as meaning italic I can define it in the CSS as anything I like without any sense of creating nonsense. All language is in essence nonsense that we delude ourselves means something.
