No apologies necessary.

What I meant is that the goal of Muse and Planner combined, with
respect to markup, is that we can continue to do simple things to
create content, and yet at the end of the day, have sufficient context
marked up so that we can do "whatever we want with it".

This is a hard problem.  Best approached by prototypes so that people
can see what works and doesn't work (evaluating both the approach and
implementation separately, since those are the 2 points of
failure/breakdown).
