I hope you are not advocating that we shouldn't have considerations for
hand-editing, and I don't see the need for hand editing ever changing.
I hand edit a lot myself, though less than I used to. People who hand
edit can handle some simple well-formedness rules.
Even if people don't hand edit entire pages they will hand edit fragments of
pages such as on wikis and forums and blogs and cms.
Actually, no they don't. Almost every major CMS/Blog/Wiki uses a non
angle bracket input format. They're a few CMSs out there that use angle
brackets, but they're a distinct minority and losing market share. I
actually wrote some blog software once that used angle brackets, and
have since thrown it away in favor of WordPress.
