Thank you all for a fascinating discussion. I was early aware of the H value in SEs but hadn't appreciated the structure points.
Poems will mainly appear on their own pages so h1 is going to be right for the title; class or ID will be needed because I use a distinct heading style and IE, Opera and Firefox all seem happy with it. The really big gain from the all css aproach is, I now see, that the SE can early be fed the main content of the page which gives a better chance of good rankings for appropriate keywords and phrases. I was just starting to understand the <p> tag and you have clarified its value further. So <div> and <p> are the major building blocks which are placed and styled by the css. <p> is also a content tag with <h> and <span> doing the special jobs with <img> of course. I am being drawn to an amazingly spare layout, and, although it looks a bit bare to me, I think it may well be very effective. Further sight of it soon. (I am quite impressed with myself, by the way, that, though I had much of how to get there wrong, I had grasped the fundamentals of how to make the basic layout ;-)).
