No, it doesn't. It specifically refers to the parent *sectioning* element. It says so. > And parent (same for ancestor) > has a well defined meaning in a tree. [...] All I'm stating is that (I think) a simpler terminology would be preferable. I'm *asking* for an explanation why that simpler terminology doesn't cover what is being expressed. But your response is a statement. Without an explanation that's not very helpful. AFAIK "parent" == "nearest ancestor". If not, an explanation or a pointer to one would be useful. -- Sander Tekelenburg The Web Repair Initiative: <http://webrepair.org/>
