FWIW, it seems that a better term for the concept you describe would be
"semantic binding language", since presentation isn't actually involved
anywhere. In the same vein CSS would be a "presentation binding language" and
XBL roughly a "behavior binding language". Having said that, I'm not sure I
follow the point that you are trying to make.

I think what's wanted is a Cascading Semantics Language. Its syntax
could be based on CSS. For example:
.masthead {
 type:heading;
 strength:high;
}

.division {
 type:heading;
 strength: normal;
}

.flow {
 type:body;
 strength:normal;
}

.aside {
 strength:weaker;
}

Behaviours, script bindings, etc could be mixed into this.
