HTML is not just about putting text on a screen. It is markup; the tags and attributes imply meaning about the contents they contain. This makes it not only usable by a web browser, but parsable by software. That includes, but is certainly not limited to, screen readers, assistive technologies, and search engines. Consider an example where I use JavaScript to make <i> tags behave like links. I can make it “work”, but by doing so, I am disregarding—and breaking—a primary function of the language. |
