    <thetext>In HTML5 section should be identified typically using h1-h6 elements.

Current:

section represents a generic document or application section. It can be used together with the h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 elements to indicate the document structure.



suggested:

&quot;The section element represents a generic section of a document or application. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of content. The theme of each section should be identified, typically by including a heading (h1-h6 element) as a child of the section element.&quot;

    <thetext>I don&apos;t understand the difference. If anything I&apos;d like to make it *shorter*. Also, the HTML5 spec&apos;s license doesn&apos;t allow me to copy-paste, does it?</thetext>

    <thetext>(In reply to Simon Pieters from comment #1)
&gt; I don&apos;t understand the difference. If anything I&apos;d like to make it
&gt; *shorter*. 

difference is between &apos;can&apos; and &apos;should&apos; one is a normative requirement.

&gt;Also, the HTML5 spec&apos;s license doesn&apos;t allow me to copy-paste,
&gt; does it?

suggest you take that up with the lawyers</thetext>
