I do like the multiple angle brackets for this reason, and because they look more tidy. But once you do get beyond 3 or 4 brackets, it *will* become difficult to be counting all the brackets, and prone to error. The question is, how deeply are people going to need to nest their divs? Me, so far, I haven't done any nesting deeper than two levels, but I can't speak for other people. > Another option would be to put div level markers on the inside > of the angle brackets, thus >>1 ...<<, >>2 ...<<, etc. to > correspond to (:div1:), (:div2:), etc. I'm not sure which one is better here...
