The normal use case for HTML is when there are at least
two computer systems involved:

(1)  one sending documents (->), and receiving requests (<-),
   ███████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████
(2)  one receiving documents (<-), and sending requests (->),

such that each of them is controlled exclusively by
different parties. There is no dispatching, because
a common dispatcher is an impossible part of the setup.
(IOW, the possibility is only a mathematical one, whenever
it refuses to include earthly constraints of the setup.)

The media types of CSS will allow an HTML processor to render
the same HTML on a number of different devices. Still, no MD.

However, once the equivalence class of XSL is taken
into account, you get MD, at least conceptually. But it
happens outside the "producer" program (1).
