Misleading.

HTML can focus on semantic markup, because it has a sister technology to 
deal with presentation (CSS). We don't have that, so we need to consider 
common cases where a default presentation just isn't good enough.

I'm very surprised that people have no problem adding an attribute for 
hanging list presentation but then at the same time object to enforced 
line breaks in table cells.
