A div is a division, or can be used as a generic block container. So if
you have: <div id="menu"></div><div id="content"></div> makes more sense
semantically.

The automatic indentation doesn't mean s--t to a tree. The important part
is the _meaning_ of the text, and what element(s) best express that
meaning.

When markup is done semantically, it makes CSS a lot easier, because you
are already thinking that way. Everything has a place, and everything in
it's place.
