Actually, as an HTML clueless person I welcomed this discussion.  I
especially like how you drove home the fact that "HTML was _designed_ to
separate the presentation of content from the content itself".  I can now
see why WYSIWYG editors are weak at creating fully accessible pages.  It
seems to me that starting with a template and then using an editor that can
pop your tags in is the way to go.
