the div0 vs div1 debate follows on if you adopt my proposal for classing 
divXXXs, but it
can also be had in isolation.

if you class the divXXX things as per my proposal, you end up allowing 
<body><div1>... </div1> <div0>...</div0></body> in a document, because I 
drew the line at separate classes for div0 and div1.

I commend a thorough read of testfand.odd.
