No version of HTML5 ever had the text you quoted in comment #0.  That was part
of a totally different spec, "HTML: The Markup Language Reference":

http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/address.html

People are expected to use semantic elements such as <article> rather than
non-semantic elements such as <div> when they want the relevant semantics. 
<div> is only meant to be used when no other element is applicable.  Since a
number of semantic elements were added in HTML5, this will require some
rewriting compared to HTML 4, yes.  Other things key off <article> specially
too, like <time pubdate> and (IIRC) the header algorithm.
