For the record I would probably always use divGen as empty, but could
understand why someone might want a heading associated with it, so having
divWrapper or divTop doesn't seem too problematic to me.  It would seem
better to have this only be head or a headLike class rather than divWrapper
though.  I can't think of a reasonable argument which would need the other
members.
