It's the difference between:

<h2>Heading 2</H2>
<p>This is one paragraph</p>
<p>This is another</p>

and

<section>
<h2>Heading 2</H2>
<p>This is one paragraph</p>
<p>This is another</p>
</section>

But I think this isn't easier for tools - I think it's 'nicer' for some academic definition of nice, but not for practical use.
