It is a generic block element that is often overused ("divitis") by
people who forget that their other block elements can be styled with CSS
just as easily as a div. You often see things like

<div>
<ul>
<li>........
<ul>
</div>

with the div instead of the ul styled when

<ul>
<li>........
</ul>

would do.
