See, now I would have thought this was an eg of html marking up how data is to be _displayed_ rather than adding _meaning_ to data, as I thought XML did. <b>bobby</b> (_displays_ the text "bobby" in bold type) [1]
That's naughty, and it's been accepted as such. Markup is for marking up data, eg. <cd id=12> <title>Pleasure Zone</title> <artist>Doomsville, Arizona</artist> </cd> or even paragrah, section, chapter, etc. It may be the case that fashions for emphasis change from italics, to bold to underlines in red. If you want emphasis, use <em>. That's markup.
<dog>bobby</dog> (adds _meaning_ to the data) [2] [2] here (xml?!) we have added meaning to the data.
Paragraph is a meaning, as is heading. It doesn't have to be a tangible thing. It can be confusing, since html markup (as with Docbook) relate directly to text and the translatio is blurred.
