The people who do the typesetting and layout for books
generally know what they're doing. (At least they used to.)
This is rarely the case these days with the HTML I've seen.
The typesetter also has complete control over the appearence of
the page and they know what the page looks like to the reader.
Neither of these is true in the case of HTML.
