Caveat Emptor (was: Excellent quote from Len Bullard)

[Len Bullard]

>When you separate semantics out of content, you get certain advantages of reusability and a degree of independence from the application of note, but you pay for it with a lot of analysis, experimenting and potential ambiguities in communications.   Caveat emptor.

Exactly right with one caveat :-) Sometimes, it simple isn't possible to separate the semantics because of situations where aspects of the presentation *are* the semantics.
