I don't know, I haven't looked at them. Does it have variables,
conditionals, and looping constructs?
Variables, yes. Conditionals, yes. Looping, not sure. Have to go
look.
Cool. In that case, I will happily acknowledge that anyone who
writes such constructs correctly BY HAND in HTML5 is a "programmer",
or at the very least, "a web developer who occasionally dabbles in
programming".

This leads me to wonder, what terms would you use for someone who
specializes in computer languages for structuring and formatting data,
such as HTML/CSS or Docbook XML (but not limited to these by any
stretch)
