XML, the future?

How semantic are the XHTML tags we have now? h1 isn't descriptive at all - let's face it, a more suitable tag for that would be title. Or article.

XML is a long way off from being a standard, but at least then you can have much more descriptive tags. RSS is a great example of what is possible by using lean, structured markup instead of tag soup.

I guess what we have now is still plagued with CSS flaws (multiple backgrounds? a good multicolumn layout module?) and such documents with 'proper' semantic XML tags will only become reality when we can write XHTML without an excess of division tags.

And only that will happen when Microsoft jump onboard the CSS3 bandwagon, as Apple/Mozilla have already done.

Let's face it, there are some agencies writing sites with divisions as if they were table cells. That's not how web design should work.
