It was meant tongue in cheek, I realise the problem ;)

Actually, the semantics are there - in the div classes. What you mean is
you want the default semantic markup present so that the browser can
deduce some presentation information too :-)

The semantic information is a higher level than just 'paragraph', etc. -
'question', 'answer', etc.

Not that it is necessarily useful though...

Strange. Green registers a higher response in the eye than any other
colour theoretically, so it should contrast well (in terms of pure
colours; obviously white gives even better registration). I'll default
to very light background with black text, if no-one else minds? I'm a
fan of green too, which is why I used it, if anyone has any other
preference shout...

tidy is a cool tool, this is true. A List Apart are currently extolling
its virtues in their latest issue IIRC.
