Can't we just invent some new elements? We've already created 20 new

This has been discussed on the HTML5 WG list to death.
- figure IS new
- details IS new
BUT
over a few peoples dead bodies it seem, that we should add one or two
new elements to make them work that would be:
- intuitive and easy to teach
- semantically clear
and that would have:
- zero technical problems
- no added costs for browser makers to implement, since it would be done
in conjunction with figure and details as such anyway
Instead we have a "solution" that:
- currently requires weird and fragile hacks
- redefines the semantics of existing elements
Just because adding elements is "evil".
I actually do not know what argument that could sway peoples minds on
this issue. It is beyond reason to me. I mean, it is not as if the dt/dd
had been carefully discussed and researched BEFORE it entered the
spec... Something I thought was a criterion for inclusion.
