In HTML, you have logical markup as well: EM, STRONG, KEY, CODE, etc
With id and class, you can make any annotation you like:
<div class="method">
my_method OPTIONS
This is the description of a method.
</div>

The nicest thing would be that the semantic docs become part of the parse
tree, which then (using standard introspection) can be used to generate
manual pages, natively into POD, roff, HTML, whatever.
I see no reason why entangled docs are so hard to parse for Perl6,
as Damian arguments. Even it being difficult is not a good reason to
make the life of all programmers harder.
