http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8447 --- Comment #6 from Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com> 2009-12-07 15:09:20 --- (In reply to comment #4) > > > Yes, i have seen sidebars in web pages. > > However, these are not examples of typographical sidebars.

They also seem clearly distinct from a plain old ordinary <section> that's part of the main content of the page, in that they are ancillary, and not directly related to the main content. Thus, <aside> has meaningful semantics in this case that go beyond <section>. Just as <header> is more meaningful than <section>, even though it's a kind of section. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
