No that doesn't do it at all, where is the project structure? Where the
horizontal structures? HTML strict or not is just layout it isn't logical
structure at all. Morphing things like headers as structural content
doesn't do the job.

What on earth is wrong with having authors produce just content, why should
an author learn a HTML layout app? Some of them may, that's true but an
awful lot of good authors know 4 things about creating documents on a
computer, how to open a document, how to operate a keyboard, how to save a
document and how to forget to save a document.
Those four things actually seem to be the only thing any writer remembers
even if when not writing they are immersed in far more technical pursuits.
