I would also like to see solid information on that topic but I'm afraid 
this statement is very hard to catch. The Google SEO Guide mainly 
focuses on the title and description of websites as well as headings an 
links. I suppose more detailed structures and elements (lists, tables, 
em, code, etc.) are not that important for search engines but for other 
tools that need to work with the document structure (js scripts, screen 
readers, semantic analysis, data mining, etc.).

Happy programming
