In theory, maybe. In practice, no. I've been round and round on ADA issues, and there is no clear distinction between "meaning" and "presentation". Clean separation is either a pipe dream, or too complex for most mortals to get right. I should become an ADA lawyer because I can now pop the purists' BS and win case$.
Yeah, div soup is so declarative. All I need to do is look at the HTML to understand how my app behaves...oh wait, no I need to reference a CSS class and iterate over 15 cascading rules and then I need to fetch whatever JS is referencing that div to understand how it's being rendered to the page. So declarative.
