That sounds like a very good idea. It would also be nice to see a move toward
simplified HTML that is correct and validated. The trend has been towards
more complexity HTML5 is a monster - it has a lot of wonderful things
but is still a monster.

I'd like to see tiny html

    <tiny_html>
       <h1>Why tidy</h1>
        <p>&ldquot;Because ... &rdquot;</p>
    </tiny_html>

You can get a long way with just <h1> <p> and character entities.

The above satisfies 50% of my markup need for text :-)
