>- see footer for list info -<
The argument is this

use the HTML tags for what they were intended for

 Prime example

 table tags for tabular data

<p></p> for paragraphs
 and so forth

the idea is that yo separate the presentation layer (CSS) from the
content (HTML)

this means that you can write  ONE html page and have it delivered over
multiple channels and all
