I'd add to that the habit many have of adding a class or ID to everything. In practice, very few elements apart from the major structural elements need to be named. Moreover, those elements don't need to be DIVs.
This page for example has only two DIVs in it. And one of those is to help out poor old IE6.
Cordially, David

Sorry for not answering this sooner, yes it's run by the same people that run TWF. Who are, ummm, us.
The forum will be moving over to the same platform as that site soon, including the same skin.
I'll second that! Hey, that link you provided: nice code.
