In my opinion, web based documents should have certain level of semantic purity. Of course there will be technical difficulties to achieve it, but that is what hackers are for. Right?

While you have the right to justify the lack of semantic markup in Scribd html docs, he has the right to expect a non-messy markup underneath.

Calling someone's expectation "ignorance" isnt very fair.
