Would you ever surround a <section> element with a <div>?

For example: <div> <section> </section> </div>

It would be more appropriate and common to create the markup the other way around, providing there are no other suitable semantic markup tags in replace of the div. section is basically a semantic version of the div element which is a generic container to divide content sections. Therefore it would be less beneficial to choose div over section where possible.
