Why you wouldn't say that date in this case is not paragraph?
Paragraph in html is just block of text and this is block of text
content isn't?
No, a div is a generic block of text. A paragraph is an actual paragraph.
We don't have 'date' element in html therefore we need to take more

Div is generic block.. not generic block of text.
Agreed, I worded it badly. It can contain non-text, but doesn't have to.
In most cases it groups block elements as for grouping inline there are
other dedicated elements as span which is inline itself (so it shou

If you can serve it as XML, then you can use MathML [1], but if you
need IE support, your way is probably the best way.

You could use an object, but browser support is probably flakey. The
following works for me in IE6/Win and FF/Win, haven't tested in
others:
HTML Object
Google embedded without iframes
http://www.google.com"; type="text/html" height="240"
width="320">
Could not load Google.
It's rendering in quirks mode, that might be causing it.

Just a plain text file? If so, then it can't be done, as it won't
have any way to infer the semantic meaning of bits of plain text. A
non-semantic HTML file? No again, as it won't be able to tell, for
instance, if italic text is a citation, emphasized text, etc.

a matter of how the label/heading fits with the rest of the document's

Setup the border as you have, but try also using negative
padding/margins to pull the position of the border inwards (should be
padding).
Margins can be negative, but padding can't[1], so should be margins.

I believe that if you
