Why no barcode tag in HTML?

After having so much fun fiddling with Microsoft Word's DISPLAYBARCODE field, I wondered why HTML doesn't have a standard barcode tag. I suppose there's lots of javascript barcode generators, but why not one built in to the browser?

It would be so simple if all you have to do is go <barcode type="code128">BARCODE_DATA</barcode>

I suppose it's not an original thought:
