We do need a spec, I'm not arguing against it. I am just tired of the fact that I can position elements via many conflicting methods:

- position: absolute/relative/fixed + top/left values

- float: left/right

- positive/negative margins

- float values of other elements

Yet cannot do simple things like tell a block element to take up all available height.

The spec focuses on various types of data that could be represented. For example we have a <code> tag. This is done in an attempt to be semantic. However, it fails at being comprehensive, and ends up falling back on things like <code class="python"> instead of <python>. The distinction between <code>, <var>, <span>, <label>, and other inline elements is completely arbitrary and which elements get to be first class citizens is also arbitrary. Giving up and saying that there are only <inline> and <block> elements would simplify things a whole lot. If you can then "subclass" a <block> to create a <p> element or subclass an <inline> element to make a <lable>, go for it!
