Should <main> be optional or required? I’d deem an optional <main> to be nonsense because it suggests documents are inherently without goal, or focus. I’d deem a required <main> to be nonsense because we already have an (implied) <body> element, and because element proliferation doesn’t work in anyone’s favor. That <body> essentially means <main> always seemed reasonable to me. There are plenty of options for authors to add styling hooks if they need any, including <div role=main>. -- Jens O.
