@mima @w3c I think @orsinium wanted less markup, and while it’s true #HTML 4.xx had less than #HTML5 (yay explosion of semantic and multimedia elements), it's still a lot and #XHTML Basic is even more cut down.
The point is that there is a standard for a smaller HTML-based markup language (check https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/SPSD-xhtml-basic-20180327/#s_xhtmlmodules — it's a short list of elements!) and it's better to start there as it's easier to add things to a standard than take them away.
