Limitations of HTML include:
-
HTML is designed for markup of hypertext -- the language is
not designed for managment of information in general:
-
Cannot use the language to understand the meaning of the
data/information contained within web pages.
-
Cannot write a computer program that will query and
interpret web page content in a useful way (more on this
in a moment!).
-
HTML has a fixed tag set:
-
Early versions of HTML were not flexible enough to easily
display content in a wide range of devices (e.g., web
browsers, palm pilot, cell phone).
-
Poor support for content searches -- if you want to view part
of a page you need to download the entire document.
-
No support for multilingual documents (e.g., Canada).
