AFAIR there has been an article about semantic web linked in this 
thread. I am not web dev myself by any means but general motto I 
hear from Internet publications on topic can be summarized as:

- HTML is for semantics, CSS is for style
- HTML should never interfere with how stuff is viewed
- HTML should be meaningful on its own, even without any CSS
- Meaning of HTML elements is standardized, not so for classes

Importance of last point is often underestimated. Screen readers 
have been already mentioned but it also applies for stuff like 
search engine robots - better HTML element selection can result 
in better search output.
