Fortunately the bad html has presented me with an opportunity. From what I can tell only tag used is the opening <p> tag, not div, span. There are no </p> tags. This means that I can replace the tag with whatever I want and not mess up the formatting.

What tag should I use, div, p, span, or some combination of the above? I will be using classes, of course.
If you want some serious overkill, you can check out my attempt at an xHTML microformat here.
