You must be drunk too, if you are agreeing with me! (Apparently.)
The example that I was trying to describe went more like:
<div id="block1">
<div id="col1">
<p>Para 1</p>
<p>Start of Para 2 ...
</div>
<div id="col2">
end of para 2</p>
<p>foo</p>
</div>
</div>
Appearing as:
Para 1 end of para2
Start of Para 2... foo
Don't we have a bit of a problem with that being invalid markup though?
The situation you are describing, content flowing across multiple
divisions should never happen. divs and spans may have no "official"
semantic meaning (due to them being technically invisible), but if we
start just putting them anywhere they become mere presentational tools.
My approach to using divs and spans (and I think this is the approach
everybody should use) is that divs and spans should make sense in the
source of a document even if no styles are present. This means no divs
with ids like "column1" and "column2". I use divs to indicate clearly
distinct sections, I then take advantage of the presence of these divs
when it comes to styling the document.
At the moment we have a problem that we sometimes have to introduce
meaningless divs and spans just to make certain layouts work (though
it's not a situation we should just accept as ordinary, we should do
everything we can to avoid this), hopefully the additions of css3 will
allow use to produce any designs we want without having to add pointless
tags.
