If the semantic content of the message is within the scope of HTMl then HTML is fine.

But for mathematics I want to use MathML. I can in simple (and even not
so simple) then I can make something that _looks_ more or less like
Mathematics by using css javascript and random font changes, but the
MathML file is far more useful.

> I think HTML was *very*good* idea.
So do I. It was, and it still is.
But many people saw the need for something else, in addition to HTML:
A cut down "SGML for the Web"
The initial promise as XML as a language for the web is not met if the
XML is just a private internal format and the only thing thatgoes on teh
web is a presentation oriented downtranslation of that information to
HTML.
