I do understand usuario's <wrapper> proposal slightly different from 
<div>: Section 4.5.13 of the spec generally states that the <div> 
element is conveying structure, but not semantics.

Usuario's <wrapper> is not structural, but purely presentational. It 
should actually not be there at all from an HTML point of view, but is 
necessary for CSS reasons.

I agree with Bjartur Thorlacius' point that it makes more sense to 
enhance CSS the way that presentational markup gets totally obsolete in 
the future - but the idea of an element that is explicitly 
non-structural does not look that odd to me.
