We've been talking a lot about Web Components as a community. Encapsulation, templating, custom elements, polyfills: it's an exciting time to be a developer! (`<taco-button>`, anyone?) Before we create the next generation of soulless `<div>` tags, we should consider the role of semantics in shiny, new technologies.

<!-- Excerpt -->
