Well, isn't this just the same as using XML and XSLT?
Why use html5 or xhtml2 when you can just write your own xml files,
using whatever semantic structure you want, and just tranform it into
html 4.01 in the browser?
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="document.xsl"?>
<document>
<metadata>...</metadata>
<header>
<title>...</title>
<logo/>
<menu>...</menu>
</header>
<content>
<section>
<h>...</h>
<p>...</p>
...
</section>
<section>
<h>...</h>
<p>...</p>
<p>...</p>
...
</section>
</content>
<footer>
<navigation></navigation>
<copyright></copyright>
...
</footer>
</document>
