  1. I'm aware I can put basically anything in a tag and browsers will simply treat it like a div if they don't recognize it.
  2. I'm also aware of HTML custom elements which allows expanding on point 1 to the nth degree using JS.
  3. And yes, JSX used in React or most other rendering frameworks lets me code a page as though I've extended HTML to have all sorts of fancy tags.

None of those things are the point of my question; I'm making a wishlist of native, agreed upon, standardized HTML tags.
