Article inside <footer> and <header> is also possible.

I don't have big problems with <maincontent> - but it is a bit long. 
Would you feel that <main> or <content> would invite to less 
"creativity" with regard to interpretation, than <maincontent> could 
lead to? They are also much more frequently used used as class/id names 
for such content than <maincontent>.

I guess, if the only content is the main content then <maincontent> 
doesn't add much.
