It's for the same reason we quit using tables for layout. It was conflating
the content with presentation. When you specify a class of "span9", you're not

take that same layout to a mobile device when the span9 re

I would be more inclined to use the id of the div to identify content
than the class. If you are going to change the content, you would need
the id. Changing a CSS class on a div would change the presentation.
