1. . If you look at 99% of all websites in the wild, everybody who worked on them seems to be allergic to semantics and shit. Headings are random levels, loosely based on font-size, Form Fields have no labels, links and buttons are divs.
2. The whole industry doesn't understand semantics and shit.

So when I teach about HTML I always start with the elements that are obviously interactive. I show them the multitude of UX layers of a link.

s and layers of UX that are added to a well considered form. I show them what happens on a phone when you use an input with a default text type instead of the proper type of email.

See the example between a span with an onclick-event and a proper link: the proper link opens a specialised context menu on right-click.

Why "Semantic HTML" fails? There’s no clear UX feature to point at.

First we need to get people exited about HTML by showing all the free yet complex layers of UX you get when you use the interactive elements properly.

You need a good idea of what UX is before you can understand things like the option to nagivate through the headings on the page with a screen reader.

I didn't know the radio button has an "indeterminate state" :o
I am curious about HTML form validation with HTML and clever CSS.

In other words, talks about what HTML does, and much less about what it means in theory. Let’s talk about user experience, and let’s stop talking about semantics and shit.
