Re: maincontent element - HTML5 extension specification (further updates and correct URL)

Hi Jon,

the spec[1] restricts ancestors not children:

"Where Flow content is expected, but with no article, aside, footer, headeror
nav element ancestors."

so <maincontent> can contain any of the above elements, but cannot be
contained within those elements.
