Therefore, maybe we could have <content> introduced. ================================================================================ #1 Ian Devlin 2012-01-26 16:03:25 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But there are the <section> and <article> elements available to wrap such things? If you have a <header>, <footer> and several <aside>s in an <article> or <section>, than everything else IS content. Process of elimination. ================================================================================ #2 Ian Yang 2012-01-26 16:36:28 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Process of elimination is okay. However, without being wrapped by a <content> tag, all content elements look like they are at the same level as <header> and <footer> elements. If we have the <content> tag to wrap all those various content elements, our mockup will looks cleaner and tidier. ================================================================================ 71233 1 ian 2012-07-20 04:09:10 +0000 Use <div> if you must have something. It's not semantically necessary though.
