Yes, I emphasize code as a foundation, not the building itself. You also hit on a big difference I've noticed between Google and Yahoo. Yahoo does tend to place a much stronger emphasis on page structure.

Aside from SEO, much of the coding and organizational structure is more about usability than SEO. If usability is lacking (and it quite often is when I'm looking at doing SEO), then SEO just creates more traffic that will bail once they arrive.
