Well that is what html should be used for.

I do freakishly experimental webdesign at times (like for designer portfolios, where freakishly experimental webdesign is kinda part of the thing), but for everything where it is much more about the info and the content I will bend over backwards to use semantic html (and even with those freakish sites I will try).

If you never looked at your website via lynx or used a screenreader I highly encourage it. It will give you a different perspective on things.
