Fully agree.
Me too - except when we're dealing with IE/win and totally empty divs.
IE's "whitespace bug" tend to see 'a space' in an empty div, and will
add font-size and line-height to the imaginary space.
Rarely ever a problem - especially since few use dimensionless empty
divs, but I just helped out in a case where such an empty, but styled,
div made IE6 crash because of that "whitespace bug".
Solution: make sure IE understands that the div is really empty, by
placing a comment inside it...
