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,
