    <thetext>It makes sense for the Header&apos;s representation to match the Footer element in terms of relating to the most immediate ancestor. 

So instead of:
&quot;The header element represents a group of introductory or navigational aids.&quot;

It would read:
&quot;The header element represents a group of introductory or navigational aids for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element.&quot;

It seems like that is the intent as many different document sections, especially those that are syndicated, have their own headings and navigation for just that section, however this is not clearly stated in the former represents.</thetext>
