Being the grid, a grid row, and grid data cell?
I haven't been following the development of XHTML 2.0 too closely - but
its my understanding that tags for presentation are a no-no.
This is a job for CSS, possibly something like:
html { display: table; }
html > body { display: table-row; }
html > body > section { display: table-cell; }
