What you just wrote about is this: "Use divs for block elements. Use spans for inline ones." Really something that your audience (people who are interested in this stuff) already know. If you're going to look web developers/designers in the face and tell them something they're already aware of, you better follow it up with some creative example of using it that they've never thought of.

Web-semantics means using a particular HTML element according to its primary purpose (for example - to display ordered lists). This is why the use of tables for building layouts is considered as non-semantic - simply because the primary purpose of the table element is to display tabular data. The div element is considered more suitable for building layouts not because it is semantic, but just the opposite - because it does NOT bear any semantics. The logic is that the meaning should be carried out by the contents, not by the the layout (i.e. the div). A div element is simply a placeholder for semantic elements such as lists, paragraphs, links, etc. You can create a whole website without using any other elements but divs, and this will not make it semantic at all.
