It's so you can write different styles for the different sections of
the site.
.section_products #sub div.section { ... }
.section_about #sub div.section { ... }
It's also useful when it comes to highlighting links in navigational
menus.
.section_products #nav_main li.products a { ... }
.section_about #nav_main li.about a { ... }
(where "section_products" or "section_about" is the class applied to
body)
Hope this helps
