--- Comment #2 from ben@abmcd.com ---
Thanks for the reply Silvia, but that thread and the linked "examples" don't
address my concerns. If anything they further my point. This passage from Hixie
on the linked thread:

"...then there's three top-level sections. So if we stick that in an <article>,
we need to end up with three top-level sections, essentially three articles.
Stick a section before the first heading, and it can't be in the same section
as the heading's. It's a sibling of the /section/ (not <section>) that was
generated by the first part of the <section>."

is illustrative fodder for my first argument about the need to differentiate
the terminology. I've read this passage five times, I'm quite familiar with the
topic, and I have no idea what Hixie's talking about. Is "heading's" with the
apostrophe a possessive? Is he referring to the section that belongs to the
heading? Or does the apostrophe indicate a plural, referring to multiple
headings? (That usage is frowned upon, but common enough.) And again, the need
to distinguish /section/ from <section> !

Ian, Michael, (and hopefully others!) can you comment on my original post?
