@Barney Carroll you are completely right. Chapter was may be a wrong word. Anyway it has some separational meaning, and thats what w3c guys were keeping im mind while "inventing" it, IMO. There is a <*separator* /> for that purpose in XHTML 2.0 w3c: The separator<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-structural.html#edef_structural_separator>element separates parts of the document from each other.

It can be used to highlight all sorts of differences in text significance. Paragraphs are block level elements. A div-level separation usually means you are dealing with a very separate piece of text - one that is outside the flow of the rest of the document, and often not part of the'document' at all. Moreover it has no defined relationship to text - divs are much more free in their use. As Rob suggests, div and span are far looser in their interpretation than <p>s. @Akella: You mention divisions between chapters, Akella, but I am more familiar with such devices (the '*****' format of horizontal rules in print) being used at levels lower than the chapter. In novellas they generally signify a distinct break of timeline or protagonist.
