You may want to scroll up just a bit in the document you linked to and read this:
"The DIV and SPAN elements, in conjunction with the id and class attributes, offer a generic mechanism for adding structure to documents."

Followed by:
"Suppose, for example, that we wanted to generate an HTML document based on a database of client information. Since HTML does not include elements that identify objects such as "client", "telephone number", "email address", etc., we use DIV and SPAN to achieve the desired structural and presentational effects."

This is definitely what I'm after.
