HTML Limitations

From a novice perspective:

Knowing relatively nothing about HMTL personally, I would have to say that one of the biggest limitations of HTML is that it is not user-friendly. Learning how to use HTML is comparable to learning another language, one that does not look even vaguely similar to the language I am familiar with. It is for this reason alone that I have yet to master learning how to effectively utilize HTML.

From an expert perspective:

Seeing as I know relatively little regarding HTML, I consulted an expert to obtain his perspective on limitations associated with using HTML for web design. In his opinion, the biggest problem with HTML is that the specification is so slow moving. The world wide web consortium is too diverse and expansive, with individual companies holding steadfast to their own agendas, causing a lack of cohesiveness and efficiency when attempting to release a new HTML specification. For example, it has been over 10 years since the release of HTML 4.01. In a rapidly evolving medium, the inability to create new specifications in an efficient manner is limiting.
