The chief techniques subsumed under the Semantic HTML label are: using existing meaningful HTML tags whenever appropriate, and adding class attributes to those tags when HTML does not have a precisely appropriate tag. So for code, you use the existing HTML tag <code>. For a particular kind of code, you slap on a class attribute: <code class="python">. And so on.
This is a fine technique. I use it often. It does, however, have a couple of drawbacks that I havent yet seen anyone mention. The chief one is that the value of class cannot be validated. If you type the name of your homegrown class incorrectly, Bad Stuff Will Happen, but an HTML validator will not be able to help you. Whereas if you type an XML tag-name incorrectly and you validate your document against a DTD or schema, you will get an error telling you what (or at least where) the problem is.

At the end of the day, many of us want to feel as if we've learned something. We want to feel that our caressing of blogs hasn't been in vain. When we journey through a conversation, we want to witness the evolution of the meme, we want to feel the momentum bowling ball of knowledge traverses the bowling lane of inquiry and splatter the pins of obfuscation, revealing some tidbit of truth, wisdom or better understanding.
There are now a number of forums and devices on the Internet where people come together to compete in some way. To name a few examples: Blogging is where you maintain a public diary, but can also attempt journalism and news analysis; Online games, where you pit strategy skills and reflexes against remote opponents; and discussion forums where you engage in debate. And least we forget the realm of amateur enterprise such as fanzines, novels and short stories, essayists, artists, musicians, pundits, advice givers and so-on. Where people come together in creative endeavor they will compete, but on the Internet nobody has been dividing anyone up into featherweight and heavyweightexcept, perhaps, by how much traffic your web site gets.
