I didn't pronounced myself "against" it at all.  I really like the idea
of having <div>s in Org :)

I only raised concerns about the fact that having <div>s will perhaps
lead to a full templating system for the HTML output, and should be
thought carefully (what structure? what classes? what ids?)

Just for the record, here are the relevant parts of the (private) email
I sent on this topic:

Again: I'm not against <div>s, I'm just curious on how it could develop!
