[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.

Completely agree with this. Many current sites will employ a large footer
section at the bottom of the page containing basic site information, lists of
related pages, recent updates and popular articles. Without the ability to
include sectioning elements within the footer element, this is not possible in
HTML5 without resorting to using divs, thus negating the purpose, and indeed
usefulness of the footer element.
