I have some proposals which are *almost* as old (like caption for lists).

Interesting, but shouldn't spidering RSS a better idea, since you are
talking about CMS?

Plus, I myself see <aside> as a tag for footnotes.

The official spec for aside is still too vague and seems to allow both
your and my vision.
