I understand why people don't use it correctly -- it requires a deeper level of knowledge, after all -- but I don't understand why I constantly see people in technical forums claiming it doesn't support such a thing.

I could be flip and say "because Microsoft," but there's probably some truth there. Lots of very technical people reject MSFT out of hand, and for a long time it was pretty easy to understand why, but Word has always been very, very capable.

The first time I used semantic style structure in a Word doc was in Word for DOS in about 1992.
