    <thetext>See http://html5doctor.com/html5-simplequiz-6-zeldmans-fat-footer/ (please ignore the &lt;figure&gt; discussion for this bug)

A few years ago, the content model of &lt;footer&gt; was changed specifically to allow usage of &lt;footer&gt; for &quot;fat footers&quot;. However, some comments still don&apos;t choose &lt;footer&gt; based on their reading of the spec. Maybe the spec needs to make it clearer in the definition of &lt;footer&gt; that the element is appropriate for &quot;fat footers&quot;.</thetext>
