Hi. What is shorter <head> or <div class="header">? And what is more easy to parse <head> or all this <div class="head">, <div class="header">, <span class="eagle_nest">, <i class="singOnTheTop big butt blue">? And what is more easy to support? Common semantic meaning and coding style is pretty helpful, when on html work more than one developer.
