> Write well-structured, semantic HTML being mindful of a separation of concerns

I keep hearing about this mythical beast, and yet I have never seen one beyond the simplest of text-only blogs.

You don't see it because either (a) people don't do it or (b) people are using HTML as a markup language for apps rather than documents.

HTML was created to be used for documents. It was coopted to be used for apps. They really should have come up with a different language for apps.

Why people don’t use it in a) would be an interesting discussion. And I fully agree on b): HTML (+ CSS) is wholly inadequate for app development.
