    An aside as I understand it is for content not directly related to the 
    main content but may be of interest to the reader.
    
    For example in an article on math, in a section about Euler's Law, a 
    very brief biography about Euler would go in an aside element. It isn't 
    pertinent to Euler's law itself but is beneficial to the reader.
    
    In such a case, the aside should be a child of the section on Euler's 
    Law rather than at the same level as the main element, should it not?
    
    I'm not defining a role to the aside, just using the aside tag as an 
    aside tag but the landmark role of complementary seems to be implicit.
