I am reminded that there is a very nice paper that answers this question
quite clearly:

    Coombs, Renear, & DeRose, "Markup Systems and the Future of
    Scholarly Text Processing", CACM Nov 1987.

I think if everyone on this list would read it, the reasons for
maintaining HTML as it was would be abundantly clear.
