I think this is a strong argument for introducing this
technique to others. The most oft-cited reason for not
using semantic HTML is the perceived control that can
be achieved by using tables/a lot of divs.
By removing this "mystery" dimension from the size of
elements, it could help people to become accustomed to
styling semantic HTML.
Personally, I remove margin-bottom from everything,
because I like to use top margin/padding, as it
prevents extra space at the end of sections. (And also
various overflow problems in Opera)
