7 `<div>` is not specifically preferred, any block-level element will do
8 (e.g. `<p>`); but `<div>` is something you can wrap around any block,
9 so it's good for a generic `\[[!template]]`.
10
11 The difference between the use of a `dir` attribute and the use
12 of a `class` attribute is that `dir` has a spec-defined semantic
13 meaning in HTML4 and HTML5: search engines can look at
14 `<div dir=\"rtl\">` and know that it is definitely right-to-left.
15
16 `<div class=\"rtl\">` *might* mean right-to-left, but it could equally
17 well mean (for instance) documentation about a run-time library,
18 or something; classes have no built-in semantic meaning that generic
19 user-agents like browsers and search engines can rely on.
