I think perhaps you must misunderstand me. Yes DIV and SPAN are by far the best tools for clustering content in a general application. But this is not a general application, we have pre-existing container elements (nodelets) which will not be disappearing, and so it seems it would be most effecient to refer to these than add addiotional elements.

    Ah, I see I did misunderstand. My appologies

    Yes, we should definitely take advantage of labeling the existing container classes. The issue I see is popping open the source code to the page is that these container classes aren't implemented as containers. There just a few table cells here and there. Nodelets aren't even their own tables, but rather table rows in the larger table. I'd love to see something like: 
    
<div id="main" >
  <div id="node_content">
  </div>
  <div id="node_replies">
  ...
  </div>
</div>

<div id="sidebar">
  <div id="nodelet_xp">
  </div>
  <div id="nodelet_chatterbox">
  </div>
  ...
</div>
