Woot! Thanks @riverma. I've also updated my own guide to give a good motivation for preserving block/inline semantic markup:

Why do this? One tangible benefit is for accessibility: screen-readers use semantic structure to better present information for people with disabilities. For example, a screen reader can speak boldface text in an emphatic voice while keyboard shortcuts allow those with motor difficulties to navigate between headings. Using boldface as a heading defeats both of these assistive technologies.

Hope this helps with the motivation 💪 😁
