I met this problem several times that I wanted to manipulate pure page contents with script but there was no easy way to select them (they always came together with siteSub, jump-to-nav etc).
Changing this will of course break all the scripts that currently work with this layout. A better fix would be to publish a javascript function somewhere that extracts the relevant parts only (or even wraps them in a dic for you).
Anyway there's already a div id="mw-content-text" now.
