Assignee: dave.null@w3.org
Summary: definition of body element incorrect
QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows NT
Reporter: faulkner.steve@gmail.com
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: HTML5 spec
Product: HTML WG
in HTML5 the body element is defined thus [1]:
"The body element represents the main content of the document."
In HTML 4 it was defined thus [2]:
"The body of a document contains the document's content."
The HTML 4 definition matches reality, the body element contains the 'content'
of the document not just the 'main content' of the document.
suggest removing the word 'main' from the HTML5 definition to match HTML 4.0
definition:
"The body element represents the content of the document."
