I found that many html users utilize the SECTION in a wrong way. One of my co-developer(in fact he is an HTML UI designer) uses SECTION as instead of DIV. I noticed some use this to wrap the content.
I am very interested to know, for what purpose are you guys using this SECTION?
Thanks

The section element is one of the new HTML5 elements, like header, footer, and other semantics.
As far as I know, they work quite the same as a div, only the div is a more generic way of dividing content.
The section is used for a specific group of content.
If your co-developer is using section everywhere, he is using it wrong and he has to use the div element.
It is possible to use more section-elements.
With the use of section, the developer has to call it only once in the CSS-file with 'section{}'. Kinda like a class attribute, but used for specific areas on the web page.

I avoid usage of semantic elements that were introduced in HTML5(like section) (except article, aside) because I mostly work with web apps that are compatible with older browsers (IE8, Atommic 1.0 etc.)
