Use of the div element instead of more appropriate elements leads to poor accessibility for readers and poor maintainability for authors." This could be phrased to give more positive encouragement: "Authors are strongly encouraged to view the div element as an element of last resort, for when no other element is suitable. Use of more appropriate elements instead of the div element leads to better accessibility for readers and better maintainability for authors." 52852 1 mike 2011-08-04 05:04:48 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 54730 2 ian 2011-08-11 21:43:31 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
