At the risk of sparking another cry of outrage and subsequent
discussions, you could use the (badly defined) definition list
The main advantage of using an ID is simply that it uniquely identifies the
element. So your CSS or DOM scripting can target it alone.

Hi,
Well at first glance I'd say the division itself has 5 px applied on all
sides as per the #qotd rules. The extra white space is most probably a mix
of margin and line-heights on the paragraphs you use within the div.

pixels, high-res screens give tiny results.
It's best to have the base set in ems (for IE compatibility reasons)
and use relative sizes thereafter. Failing that, set the base in
points, but not pixels.
