Yes, that is technically true, but that is not the same as saying that "parent *sectioning element*" == "nearest ancestor *sectioning element*". This example was given earlier: <section> <div> <section> The inner section's parent is not a sectioning element, so it does not have a "parent sectioning element". It does, however, have an ancestor sectioning element: its grandparent in this case. So, there are cases where "nearest ancestor sectioning element" does equal "parent sectioning element", but in other cases it is the grandparent, great grandparent, or a more distant relative. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
