Old habits die hard
Douglas Bowman asks Are They Really Separated
“…when we make small design adjustments by adding extra <div> tags or class attributes, then alter the CSS to take advantage of those markup changes, we confuse the concept of independent structure and presentation.”
and Eric Meyers jumps in…
“Document structure is like the support beams for a building. The final layout and appearance of the building will depend very heavily on the shape those support beams create. If you ignore that, and assemble the beams with no thought toward the final product (not following the blueprints, as it were), the best you can hope for is an inefficient, almost unusable building. In the worst case, the building will utterly collapse as soon as you try to add anything useful to the structure.”
