I can see the value in having <nav> be a sectioning element with its own subsections. e.g. on w3.org home page I would say that the whole left sidebar is a <nav>. OTOH I have also seen pages that use navigation in headers and footers, so I would expect authors to be surprised when their <header><nav> or <footer><nav> markup doesn't validate when they make an effort to convert their <div> soup to HTML5. Hence, I agree that <nav> should be allowed to be nested in <header> and <footer> (but then have transparent content model). -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
