No, no, no!  A DIV is semantically neutral, ie has no meaning
whatsoever. The addition of a class name does not change that. So how
can a pair of DIV's have more meaning than a specific HTML element?

I think what liorean means by more semantic is that the meaning of two items of text divided by grouping is clearer to her than two items of text divided by a divider.

But you're essentially right in your thrust - that by introducing a solid element that would otherwise only be hinted at through styles and class, we are creating a semantic object rather than simulating one using less meaningful methods.


Even if you could answer that correctly, the above example is completely
inaccessible, whereas a distinct element used correctly cannot possible
be more accessible.

I beg your pardon? If paragraphs inside classed divs are inaccessible, we've got a bit of a global disaster on our hands.
