> HTML - At the heart of it, the foundation is the layout engine and positioning
I'd oppose: HTML is particularly a Markup Language for (more or less) semantically structured static documents tied together with Hyper Text links (see the abbreviation?). It has with very limited (if any) amount of layout, positioning and visual hints incorporated; these things are supposed to be left for the CSS.
