How a new HTML element will make the Web faster

Sarcasm? I can't tell anymore :/

I love it when my code doesn't compile (i.e. if I've made a mistake). Much worse if when something tries to be "intelligent" and makes my code do something I never asked for - then I spend hours trying to figure out what the issue is (assuming I've noticed) rather than seeing that I made a mistake and fixing it.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. Web designers should stop whining and write proper markup code.

The problem has nothing to do with web devs but rather that no one wants to use a browser that spits out "error 5" on malformed HTML, which is necessarily what you're implying. The other option is to do your best with the bad HTML, and now we're right back where we started, regardless of how "strict" you make the rules.
