Alas, all the benefits you list are just possibilities, not the reality. "separation of content from style" was a big thing back when csszengarden.com was making rounds, but that all is long forgotten in the name of angularreactnodecrap. Accessibility? Give me a break, how many web sites do even work without JS enabled? I am not sure about Android, but iOS has a great accessibility support.

There are some of us who still adhere to semantic HTML.

Huh! I assumed support was gone, seeing as it's been deprecated for a long time.

Now, what should the Markdown syntax be...

You probably want to make it more clear that you're supposed to mouse over the dark lollipops and avoid the blue trees. I assumed the dark chars were the walls I shouldn't touch and just about gave up on it after it was constantly crashing. Then I read the description after the fold and figured it out.

You know you've been working with ASCII for a long time when you can automatically unescape the title... and then pause, considering whether to unescape again. I think reading the comments on that bug is also rather enlightening; points of note include a 62-level-deep stack trace, comments to the effect of "we don't know what the bug is/how this is supposed to work", and discussions about whether escaping multiple ti…

Reading the bug report: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=533361 makes me sad. Recursing is definitely not the answer, yet it gets brought up a lot. Also, %00 shouldn't cause the browser to crash, and the fixes suggested so far are just work-arounds :/
