I'm unhappy with both of these formulations, sorry. They're expressed negatively, and it's better to start with a positive statement of what is being aimed at, IMHO. I'd want something like (but it still needs work): "Give priority to expressing the structure of your content by means of an appropriate HTML tag. Enhance these, where appropriate, with a CLASS attribute and stylesheet suggestion(s). Only resort to DIV or SPAN when HTML has no more-appropriate tag." (and then your example, by all means). hope that was useful
