Why should a *practical* website maker choose a paragraph element for a
paragraph?
As far as I can work out, for no *other* reason than that the P element
is associated in browsers with ready made styles that humans can
recognise as indicating a paragraph. So it saves bother! Easier than
fashioning styles for a DIV.
Much easier to trim a hedge than grow one in the first place. And pretty
well the same thing goes for all other elements.
Imagining that the paragraph as it exists in the HTML is somehow free of
presentation is like imagining walking out of the house nude knowing the
door is rigged to trigger clothes to magically cover your loveliness.
"I'm going to walk out nude" is not very brave under these
circumstances.
