hello, I think that <nav> should not be a sectioning element

for example:

<h1>Mysite222.org</h1>
<p>Welcome to my homepage</p>
<p>My interests are:</p>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Programming</a>, because I love logic and math</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Collecting beer cans</a>, because I love beer</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

in practice, can be at the same time:

- a navigation list
- contextualized inside one expression

so I suggest to make <nav> a non sectioning element, in favor of

<section || aside>
<nav>non contextualized navigation (for sidebars, for example)</nav>
</section || aside>
