I just cannot believe what I just saw, and I must say I am stupid myself since I started commenting on XHTML2 with the first drafts and never saw it before... A section element and the corresponding header have no hierarchical relationship... They are siblings. That means it is impossible in an editor with a single click without scripting to select the whole section, title included. I perfectly understand this was made to allow intermediate elements between the section's body and the title, but PRECISELY there is a confusion here between section and section body. That implies that an editor will have to use code to move a section before or after another one instead of using the trivial select+dragndrop mechanism. Hey, a document has a root, a title in a head, and a body, but a section has no root... What is called 'section' in XHTML2 is in fact clearly the old 'secbody' we have seen in old DTDs like CALS (remember? There was a world before XML and that world already solved most issues) and we miss a real 'section' element. The section/h model is from my perspective, with my editor implementor's hat on, flawed. </Daniel>
