A lot of these are probably more for the benefit of the search engines and for SEO purposes. Tags like <section /> and <article /> gives search engines a little more information about what they're parsing (the same with the <header />, <footer /> and <nav /> tags.) Obviously, they can be abused for SEO as well, but I think those tags are strictly for document declaration... -Dan
