No more and no less. If it's purely stylistic, then using <div> and not having semantics is fine. Stylistic components should just be invoked from the CSS layer.

Those are the ones that appear in the markup. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
