How does "parent sectioning element" leave room to think > it might apply to a non-sectioning parent element? Because it refers to the parent in a tree. And parent (same for ancestor) has a well defined meaning in a tree. So for a tree like: <section> <div> <section> the idea that the "parent sectioning element" for the innermost <section> refers to the outermost <section> is non-obvious. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
