Hi Ian, I cannot speak for whatwg, but from the W3C HTML spec side the main element is in the HTML 5.1 spec and has been implemented in browsers and so will be added to HTML5 spec at some point as it likely meets the CR exit criteria. as for it being a sectioning element, there is currently an open bug on that, which we be dealt with. If you want to discuss the specification of the main element in HTML 5.1 specification feel free mail the html wg list. If you want to discuss definition as per the whatwg spec this is the place, although I will obviously follow ant discussions with interest regards SteveF Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:31:32 +0800 > From: Ian Yang <ian@invigoreight.com> > To: whatwg <whatwg@whatwg.org> > Subject: [whatwg] Is <main> now an official HTML5 element? > Message-ID: > <CABr1FsfcaX8=B8TReG8Sz36W= h1w0hRY61+LG=Cebo-ZUWYfqA@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi editors and all other folks, I saw the SitePoint article "Introducing the New HTML5 <main> Element<http://www.sitepoint.com/html5-main-element/>" yesterday. Does that mean <main> element has been approved by all editors of the working group? However, in spec, it still says that <main> element is not a sectioning element. That means, in document outline, main content will form another tree structure instead of appearing under the original website tree structure. Can we have somebody advise on this? Is there a special consideration to not making <main> a sectioning element? Sincerely, Ian Yan
