Hi Bruce, > My gut feeling is that the difference is > > 1) illustrative and 2) "typically referred to in the main article/ section". > Aside is tangential, > figure is integral. The spec currently says that figure, "could, without affecting the flow of the document, be moved away from that primary content, e.g. to the side of the page, to dedicated pages, or to an appendix." If figure can be moved away from primary content, it sure doesn’t seem to be integral/essential. Is that bit of text really needed? Perhaps it should be removed or adjusted? Maybe emphasize that figure is integral and is meant to strengthen meaning? Talking about "the side of the page" in the figure element definition confuses it with the aside element. The spec currently says that the aside element, "represents a section of a page that consists of content that is tangentially related to the content around the aside element, and which could be considered separate from that content." Thoughts? Thanks. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
