“Reader Mode” is a successful example. I’m actually shocked it exists because of how it impedes the things you mention.

But reader mode is mostly bunch of heuristics with tons of ad-hoc special cases and hacks instead of relying documents to be well-structured. So in many ways it is the opposite of successful example.

Oh true. Which kind of demonstrates the penalty for abusing HTML so much that it’s no-longer semantically reliable.

How long can it be called abuse if it is how html has been used like almost entirety of its lifetime.
