Not sure if I'm expecting too much, but the html in the editor is quite terrible – <span>s used for everything, including headlines, <br> to separate paragraphs etc. HTML5 has dramatically increased the potential for semantic html and I wish more people would make use of it.

If I understand correctly, the HTML is not actually published. So there are no benefits to having a better semantic structure to it - think of it as a rendering target for the sole purpose of making it look nice on the screen.
