Rewrite Suggested

The article doesn’t explain where semantics/meaning come from (agreement, essentially) and what different levels of agreement there are (standards, microformats, classes/IDs, &c.). Many conclusions of the article are consequentially false. Problems begin with the introductory statement that semantic HTML “reinforces semantics”; semantic HTML doesn’t reinforce semantics unless this is meant to say that oranges reinforce their being orange. Rich Snippets are probably a very, possibly too specific example, while RDF/Semantic Web could be good to elaborate on in the HTML realm. I don’t mean to bash here for there are some useful parts in the article, but overall I suggest a rewrite. (I’m merely suggesting, then, to rule out bias; I myself have explained semantics on my own site and at Google.—j9t (talk) 10:10, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
