OK, so how far do we take this thinking on semantics etc. For
example, many people use a div called 'header'. Suppose I decide to
put this at the bottom?!!! Taking this to the extreme, it suggests
that 'header' is presentational/positional.
So, what we need is a summary of useful 'box-names' which are
semantically sound, but which don't actually mean anything!
I'm calling this the 'standards contradiction syndrome'. :-)
I've used "branding" as the ID of a container for the company name
and logo. Although the design I was implementing displayed it as a
header, I got a virtuous feeling of semantic purity from avoiding
tying that fact into my markup :-)
Cheers,
Nick.
