You snipped the part about <div> not being in the proposal for HTML5

Either <div> is going to be in HTML 5 but has yet to be specified (like
<object>), or it's not going to be in HTML 5 but is incorrectly used in
some examples. If the latter, that will make certain the semantic-free
fates of <section> and <p>.
Indeed. <div> and <span> are really required to act as non-semantic
hooks for styling; any attempt to remove them is imho very misguided.
