no semantic structure? Its a nested set of divs... thats the structure. You
are right about the hierarchial structure and I did think about lists and
maybe thats a better way to go but I feel that its probably equivilent to
the divs as I wouldn't really gain much advantage using them(except maybe
the automatic indention.
