If you want process semantic you will use original DocBook > source (or RDF, XTM, ...), not converted HTML. I agree completely with everything you've written. The problem I have is with the idea of mixing tt and code or mixing b and i with strong and em. We should do one or the other. There were a couple of open feature requests asking for b and i output be changed to strong and em, and for tt to be changed to code. And we seemed to have a consensus that those were not bad ideas. So the changes were made.
