Summary: Sectioning Content Use versus DIV
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: HTML 5: The Markup Language
AssignedTo: mike@w3.org
ReportedBy: sean@elementary-group-standards.com
QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org
CC: ian@hixie.ch, public-html@w3.org
The "div" element has been relegated to an afterthought (or, near-deprecation)
in the spec in lieu of Sectioning Content elements. However, neither the "div"
(4.12.2 The div element) paragraph nor Sectioning Content paragraphs address
this. Web authors would benefit from some HTML 5 guidance in the spec.
Suggested copy:
4.4.2 The section element
ADD
"Note: Please notice that the example above does not use the div element: the
section elements have replaced generic container divs; the article element and
the header element have replaced author-specific divs which may have used id or
class attributes."
"Authors are strongly encouraged to use sectioning elements (i.e., article,
section, header, nav, aside, address, footer) where semantically identified
containers should be used, e.g., section elements for columns and nav elements
for navigation, instead of the div element."
4.4.3 The nav element
4.4.4 The article element
4.4.5 The aside element
4.4.7 The header element
4.4.8 The footer element
4.12.2 The div element
ADD
"Authors are strongly encouraged to use sectioning elements (i.e., article,
section, header, nav, aside, address, footer) where semantically identified
containers should be used, e.g., section elements for columns and nav elements
for navigation, instead of the div element."
