Thanks for these explanations. Without going into the technical aspect of comparing div power and markup definition, it looks to me like going ahead in many ways.

For instance, Search engines ranks better title than title and therefore gives benefits for web ranking, also accessibility..

I don’t see any XHTML documents anywhere. This site is still plain old HTML =P

Very nice. I actually did a very similar project before I ran into your site. I thought it was only fair to give you credit after I found your site since yours was done well before mine. Great work.

Why be difficult? Classes and ID’s were made for a reason. They give you more power over your content.

All you basically did was take a normal tag (block or inline-block type) and changed the default behavior. These tags are in essence a div or span tag that have default behaviors. They just give them special names for your convienence.

Yes, overuse of these tags may be annoying, but there is nothing wrong with using the language to its fullest.

I have to say, it’s cool.

Maybe I’ll use it someday, but I’m afraid just works well enough for now.

I love your approch of clean coding. It might be a little overdone, but the idea is good.

Seems to me this can only be pulled off if the website has a limited number of fonts and styles it has to display.
If you use a different tag for each header-style (you used in this page) and you had, say, 8 different header-styles you would like to display, then you would run out of tags.

Love your approach, but it makes the design limited to a (fairly high and hard to reach) number of styles.

Ok, So assuming I was new to all this and had no idea what I was talking about (actually that’s not an assumption, it’s truth). What’s the big deal about Div’s? What were they made to do and how are they abused? Why is overusing them so bad?

Sure; div-less is good, but only on more static content. On dynamic content it would be much harder to stay div-less.
