I prefer the DIV because it shows beginning and end of the structural

No, a DIV 'marks' the start and finish of an arbitrary block, in the
'markup' sense of the word 'mark'
By default, nothing about a DIV is visible, even in a visual browser. In
an aural or text-only browser a DIV might as well not exist.
This is one of the reasons for 'semantic CSS' - namely that many
non-visual browsers give the option of naming elements as they are
encountered, along with the class and id attributes. If you give your
ephemeral and non-semantic objects semantic descriptions in these slots,
you're that bit better off.
Remains to be seen how much this is actually used. Many complex sites
rely on DIV soup to present themselves (I've seen single Google ad
panels consisting of over 10 nested items), and as such people may
generally be better off not having these elements announced to them.
