No, I'm suggesting that if you truly want to learn html5 semantics you need to build a site without divs. Once you understand the semantics you can better understand why you would use the new tags and why you would fall back to divs. But to continue working with divs that have semantic class names will not give you that understanding. It's a mental leap.

Are you suggesting that to switch to HTML5 we should avoid the use of div entirely, using only section, article etc to chunk up the content? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
