Several comments in #1382350: [discussion] Theme/render system problems (for example, #49 and #51 among others) mention that one of the frustrations of themers is having to constantly override undesired assumptions made by default theme functions and templates. So, how do we improve this? I suspect outputting no markup in default theme functions/templates isn't what's desired. However, a current grep through D8 core shows 484 occurrences of <div> tags, which is probably a few hundred too many.

How do we improve this?
