           Summary: consider to add element <outside> to de-section some
                    text
           Product: HTML WG

hello

Sections are a tree-structure that need an exception for CSS styling

<h1>Site Title</h1>
<article>
   <h1>Article XXX Title</h1>
   <section>
      <h1>Site Sidebar</h1>
      ...
   </section>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
</article>

If I write a structure like this, because these are the "CSS' needs" to design
my layout, I will obtain an horribly wrong outline, so why don't introduce some
tag to de-section something from its context?

this snippet:

<h1>Site Title</h1>
<article>
   <h1>Article XXX Title</h1>
   <outside>
       <section>
           <h1>Site Sidebar</h1>
           ...
       </section>
   </outside>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
</article>

should be equivalent to:

<h1>Site Title</h1>
<article>
   <h1>Article XXX Title</h1>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
   <p>Article XXX text</p>
</article>
<section>
   <h1>Site Sidebar</h1>
   ...
</section>

every <outside> should mean "up one level"

I hope that this can be discussed

thank you!
