I would not object to renaming the outer div to "container" or whatever
other name we can find a consensus for.

I think I would object to removing it alltogether,
I cannot see the benefit of doing that.

On the other hand, I cannot really see ths issue here, because the  
name in the
templates could be changed as well, and I would suspect that this is a  
common issue
name clashes when using templates.
