I disagree.  Anything that is done for strictly semantic reasons can't
sanely be called "markup".

But a lot of markup _is_ semantic. e.g. <h2> vs <b> above [...]

Yup ... which is where this started, IIRC.

   $s = "perl <emph>is</emph> great."
   $s =~ s/is/will be/;
Wants to become (one assumes)
   "perl <emph>will be</emph> great."

That's the plan.
