Couldn't disagree more with your statement. What if you have a sidebar that appears 20+ times throughout your application in different contexts. You might decide it is too wide. Are you going to go through all your templates and change class="col-md-blah" or are you going to change one mixin?

Also, if you are providing a theme, I don't see how you lose portability. Your mixins will be relying on base bootstrap anyway?

For pretty much anything anyone could describe as a "web application" if you have the HTML for your sidebar copied around 20+ pages instead of stored in a common template somewhere, you have bigger problems than whether your HTML is semantic.

The example was contrived to prove the point. I agree that the specifics of the Scenario would be indicative of poor practice in other areas, but that doesn't change the fact that the markup should be semantic.

This is what is great about decorators (the most awesome part of Web Components that probably will never be implemented):
