In my work life I regularly put in extra divs based on long experience - even when they're not being used now, I know they'll be required at some point in future. In a large-scale environment you can't rely on being able to add a div later on. It's forward planning. That said, most of the time a good POSH structure with logical classes will actually have enough divs to go around. I think there has to be a balance between perfection and reality.
