Does it help define the page to your visitor?
Google strips out a number of word in it's SERPS like the, in, of, a...anyway. These can actually help a user and are ignored by a search engine so cannot do any harm except add a few bytes to your page weight.
In fact I would recommmend it - any thing that looks like It was built primarily for your visitors will do better than
impossibly well structured Super SEO mega keyword technical jargon. Look at 'mom and pop' sites for proof - their SEO knowledge is zero but rank well becasue the page uses common sense.
