Hi Carsten,

I didn't pronounced myself "against" it at all.  I really like the idea
of having <div>s in Org :)

I only raised concerns about the fact that having <div>s will perhaps
lead to a full templating system for the HTML output, and should be
thought carefully (what structure? what classes? what ids?)

Just for the record, here are the relevant parts of the (private) email
I sent on this topic:

| attribute like id="section1"?  Org will of course chose the class=""
| option, for the sake of both simplicity and genericity.  But I can bet
| you will soon be under pressure for more and more options...

Again: I'm not against <div>s, I'm just curious on how it could develop!
