I thought JSX was just a cosmetic overlay to regular JavaScript functions. I'm not a react expert but I'm pretty sure `return <div>whatever</div>` just returns an object with a property of div and value of whatever. Exactly the same as writing `return React.DOM.div(null, whatever)` or whatever the vanilla version is.
