It is obviously better, as it is more clear this way than generic divs/paragraphs with arbitrary classes assigned.

Once again, (X)HTML was designed for computer manuals, not books. Take any book and tell me what elements have its semantic representation in HTML: Title page/Title -- none, Dedication -- none, Epigraph -- none, chapter titles -- none again, 'letters' -- none! Everything has to be imitated with the direct formatting!

I can recall two books which used it for in-universe text correction.
