  1. In HTML we’ve always had an issue of wrong use of elements (e.g., table layouts, divitis) But there’s another widespread issue, the *needless* use of elements There’s much advice on semantic markup—but is there enough about not using so much markup (“1 container is enough”)?

      For minimalists this has traditionally been a priority But for more quality markup it may need attention by the mainstream (Reminded of the pattern when reading @hdv’s and @scottohara’s excellent hiddedevries.nl/en/blog/2022-01-23-more-to-give-than-just-the-div-semantics-and-how-to-get-them-right and scottohara.me/blog/2022/01/20/divisive.html)
