On the other shouldn't be everything inside <body> except > <footer>, <header>, <menu> and <aside> aside considered as a "maincontent"? That's the real question, indeed. Or asked the other way around: is it possible to mark up a page such that everything that is not main content can be contained in an existing "semantic" tag or do we still have the need to create our pages/applications with many <div> elements? If the latter is true, then it can make sense to pick one <div> as the one to start reading at. Silvia.
