I thought fieldset (with legend) are used only for form elements,
I am curious why you would used it in your right column's content.
A. It is valid. You may use it according to the DTD.
Many things are valid. The DTD is not expressive of semantics.
B. It is being used for grouping of content.
So?
C. I am not a minimalist in interpreting specs. It was developed
for forms, but I have not seen that you SHOULD NOT use it outside
of forms, i.e. it is not verboten.
From the spec:
The FIELDSET element allows authors to group thematically related
controls and labels. Grouping controls makes it easier for users
to understand their purpose while simultaneously facilitating
tabbing navigation for visual user agents and speech navigation
for speech-oriented user agents. The proper use of this element
makes documents more accessible.
Grouping "controls and labels". Not "anything", not "content". Just
"controls and labels".
D. It works and has no negative effects that I am aware of.
It has the same negative effects as using tables for layout.
E. I wanted the effect...
Effects are the realm of CSS and JS, not markup.
