What is it?
The DIV element is a generic, catch-all Block Formatting element with an implied line break before and after. Within the realm of Style Sheets, this element is nestable to allow hierarchies of sections, subsections or chapters to be defined. This nesting ability also allows for powerful Style Sheet mechanisms to be applied.

The recent addition of the many linking attributes to DIV and SPAN appear to be an attempt to expand the generic block and in-line capabilities of these two elements.
