    <thetext>The main element description does not correspond to its definition in HTML5

current:
&quot;main can be used as a container for the dominant contents of another element, such as the main content of the page.&quot;

suggested:
&quot;The main element represents the main content of the body of a document or application.&quot;

    <thetext>(In reply to alexander surkov from comment #2)
&gt; I&apos;m curious about original wording, was it driven by some use case?

the original wording corresponded to the whatwg definition, as this is version of the doc is about differences between html 4 and w3c html5 it has been modified to reflect the HTML5 definition</thetext>
