I agree that this should be an option. Adding divs tou your html.
Why would you need a <div class="foo"><ul> ... </ul></div> when you can
have <ul class="foo"> ... </ul>.

I don't agree. You can apply whatever styling you like to the whole
section. Of course you cannot have different styles for different
sections unless you use classes.
