That could work for the usual cases if the authors had a clear idea of such a side meaning of using <section> but as Etan Wexler said, it might not work in more complex cases. Also, I think educating authors about a side meaning of section> might be harder than advertising something that is clearly about marking the navigationness or main contentness. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://www.iki.fi/hsivonen/
