The common all garden <div> has no semantic meaning, other than box, and when you view a menu using div's a client looking for meaning in the structure, rather than the style, will go snow blind.
Well, I was trying to explicitly avoid associating any semantics with the navigation items. Does this mean I got the wrong end of the stick, then?
'Fraid so. The idea is to use the meanings of the HTML elements to give the document structure outside of the visual style. By using <h1> and <ul> instead of <div> you add structure to the document that means something to non graphical browsers and screen readers.
