The opposite of a great truth is also a great truth: You may need more than HTML.
The problem is (and I believe this is what the author tries to draw attention to) that people are fighting all sorts of half-backed stacks without necessarily having a fully justified reason for every incremental complication invovled.
The web is obviously more than a "clean page of text" metaphor. How much more we don't even know yet.
