Hi,
Wasn't quite articulating this prior to your reply but the PHP
includes and serving the correct doctype, with PHP are true boons to
smaller sites attempting "semanticity."

Separating core content from other structural content was
constantly bugging me until I started to use PHP includes. This
works particularly well for smaller sites.
The great thing about this method is the ability to place all
elements (such as navigation, headers, footers, etc) in separate
files away from the individual page's unique content. At the time
the page is requested from the server, the elements are combined
and draw the page style from the CSS file you specify.
This way, you get the benefit of easy updates (as you only change
one file), as well as the separation of design (CSS) and
'structural content' from the page's unique content. Unfortunately
for the most part we're stuck with the limitations of HTML until
the most popular browser starts being a bit more accommodating.
Apologies for the previous reply.
