That's wrong - with some custom TS you can do a far better 
implementation of additional space then with simply replacing the 
clear.gif with a clear-div. Although replacing the clear.gif with 
something semantically more correct is warmly welcome.

I don't see a real improvement by simply replacing the spacer image by a 
useless spacer div. It it ok for the regular usage in stdWrap - but for 
the default tt_content rendering there are better ways to do.

For tt_content rendering it would be far better to get rid of the 
prepending anchor and the prepended/appended spacers as well as the 
wrapping div when using a section frame. This can be all done with 1 
single div around the CE - which in my eyes would be the way to go if 
something is going to be changed in the default rendering settings of CSC.

I f.e. use this TS in all of my installations:
----------
# first disable the ugly default spacer stuff
> tt_content {
>   stdWrap {
> 	spaceBefore >
> 	spaceAfter >
> 	space >
> 	dataWrap >
>   }
> }

# then wrap the whole CE with one single div defining everything needed
> tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap >
> tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap {
> 	cObject = CASE
> 	cObject {
> 		key.field = section_frame
> 
> 		default = COA
> 		default {
> 			# create opening tag with ID-attribute acting as anchor
> 			# but don't add a anchor ID to CE divider
> 			10 = TEXT
> 			10 {
> 				value = <div id="c{field:uid}"
> 				override.cObject = TEXT
> 				override.cObject {

> 					if.value = div

Just for some inspiration.
