http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#sections (This is my complete review of sections. Since I've dealt with many of the elements individually, some of these are just references to past postings). "Sectioning elements are elements that divide the page into, for lack of a better word, sections." suggest we consider this (though reading it makes me smile) to something like "thematic groupings of content" (words lifted from 3.8.2 the section element) "nearest ancestor sectioning element" vs "nearest sectioning element" - I'd stick with the former for clarity, the "ancestor" part is fundamental. 3.8.1. The body element see: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0123.html 3.8.2. The section element http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#sections Suggestion/clarification re headings/footer in content model: Zero or more style elements, followed by zero or more headings, followed by zero or more block-level elements, with an optional footer. Should we suggest the order of headings (header/h1-6 elements) and footers for conformance? I don't have a preference (as an author) but are implementors happy to allow headings to occur anywhere within a section, and yet be able to easily identify the heading of that section? It may be worth stating that headings can be placed anywhere within the section (which is currently allowed) to make that intent explicit. 3.8.5. The blockquote element see: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0127.html 3.8.7. The h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 elements http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-h1 These elements define headers for their sections. (suggest we replace "headers" with "headings" to reduce any confusion with the header element). 3.8.8. The header element http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0274.html 3.8.10. The address element http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0337.html cheers Ben
