BTW, your margin example is not a good one. If you're changing margins 
you'd better have a good reason for doing so, other than simply because 
you think it looks better that way, in which case the right thing to do 
is to classify the <div> by the reason rather than trying to style it. E.g.:

div.newspaper { margin-left: 2em; }
div.toc       { margin-left: 0em; }
div.signinbarbershopwindow { margin-left: 3em }

If you don't have a semantic reason for changing margins, don't do it. 
Only use inline styles on elements when there is really no alternative, 
and no one would want it done otherwise. If there's /any/ chance that a 
reader would disagree with your choice of style, put it in an external 
style sheet.
