Hi Steve,

Yep, I've seen it also. Pity the visually challenged user with a screen
reader trying to figure out what's going on.

I have seen several sites that have done this, presumably for the visual
effect of having a border around each subsection of content; some browsers
will give that border round corners. Of course the same effect can be
achieved with the correct use of CSS but maybe they just thought this way is
easier.

It's incorrect and pointless. Why would anyone want to do such a thing?
