I do like the multiple angle brackets for this reason, and because they
look more tidy. But once you do get beyond 3 or 4 brackets, it *will*
become difficult to be counting all the brackets, and prone to error.
The question is, how deeply are people going to need to nest their divs?
Me, so far, I haven't done any nesting deeper than two levels, but I
can't speak for other people.

I'm not sure which one is better here...
