Why should they care if we code a blockquote as a blockquote or a span or a div?

We can't expect them to demand or care about what they cannot see, or understand as if they were writing HTML, they'd DIY. Right? We need to be fair about how we view them, no?

True, most people don't care about the code under the hood. But they should care about the poor formatting in a lot of eBooks.
