[Bug 7483] The footer element desperately needs to be able to contain sectioning content descendents, most importantly "nav". Under the current specification, I will just end up using div class="footer" so my footers can contain sectioning content.

I concur. Take for example the orange/brown area at the bottom of
http://clagnut.com/. It's repeated throughout the site and is contained within
a div of id "footer". It is a footer by almost anyone's definition. And it
contains headings, paragraphs and lists, of which only paragraphs are currently
allowed in the HTML 5 footer element. My suggestion would be to allow footer to
contain the same elements that are allowed in header.
