CSS can only position elements on a page.  usually you group a number of  
paragraph elements in a div and position that.

I'm not sure I'm clear on how you plan to position groups of elements  
without using divs.  I'm also unclear as to why you'd want to do this?

a simply structured html document:

<div id="header"></div>
<div id="nav"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>

makes more sense than trying to layout individual paragraphs, links and  
lists.

perhaps you could explain in more detail what you hope to acheive?
