That's a completely unrelated feature, intended for web development?

It also didn't end up being very useful, and they removed it in 2016.

Because SPA (Angular/React/Vue) happened. Webpages are going from handcrafted "semantic" ones to nested pile of DIVs.


Semantic HTML/CSS was always a fantasy. People aren't crystalline, nor are the documents we read/write or the webpages we use. Something like ARIA is orders of magnitude better for accessibility than the SUMMARY tag ever could have been.


Eh, most web pages haven't been handcrafted since ~1996. Remember how ugly Dreamweaver's output was?
