Why isn't "leftColumn" a semantic relationship? It means something, 
doesn't it? There's no reason a bunch of designers couldn't get 
together and agree on what "leftColumn" means just like the W3C 
agreed on what "h1" means, and the microformats community agreed on 
what "vevent" means. Until someone find a babblefish, that shared 
meaning is all we have to communicate. That's as semantic as it gets.
Peace,
