For example, if I do a search for 'foo bar' and your document has one section with a 'foo' and then another with a 'bar', this is likely to be considered a less relevant match than another document where both 'foo' and 'bar' appear inside the same section (or even with no sections but inside the same 'div'). This is an over-simplified example, and I do not think that search engines do this yet, but these semantic elements are being introduced precisely with this intention. At present, writing XHTML does not harm, but in the future HTML5 markup may have slightly better search relevance, and then people will want HTML5 on their websites. As Jack mentions, this also depends on people using the markup correctly. @Loick
