div is a grouping element, or some sort of 'container' which can be
used to group several element inside it. also, in conjunction with the
id & class attributes-- can be used to give a structure to an html
document, and of course to easely control its appeareance by using
stylesheet.

and yes, it requires both start & end tag.

english sepaker. could it be divider? or division?
