With CSS, the concept of differentiated HTML tags basically became obsolete. The purpose of HTML now is just to break apart and identify the content fields in an XML format. The only tags I really use in the HTML body are div and a - and I only use a because I can't add a href attribute into a div. Some people have tried to argue against this way of doing things ("divitus") but as far as I can tell their criticisms are pedantic, not practical. If some one has a good practical argument for specialized HTML tag names, I'd love to hear it.
