It may be helpful for styling, to see which div corresponds to what 
section/node,
but using "class" would probably be better. The only issue with class is if
there maybe some conflict with other uses of the same class name for <div>:
It would be undesirable to have <div class='section'> to
mark two different kinds of division, but there is no conflict between
<div class='section'> and <h2 class='section'> since css can trivially
distinguish them.   I'm guessing there is no problem, but I thought I'd mention 
it.

Note, in case you didn't know it: It is perfectly OK to have a list of two or
more names in a class:
   <div class='chapter node'>

I originally put in the "cmdname" for debugging - to see what is happening.
