    <thetext>Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-section-element

Comment:
It&apos;s not clear what takes precendece on a conflit: For spliting our web site
structure into sections, should we use a section (without header on some
cases) our should we use DIV (knowing that div brings no semantic relevance at
all). The *should* on the section header element and the section as a page
structure possibility leeds to confusion.

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The answer to your question is in the question: &quot;For spliting our web site structure into sections, should we use a &lt;section&gt; our should we use &lt;div&gt;&quot; — it seems clear that &lt;section&gt; is the right answer. However, I don&apos;t understand what you mean by the rest of your question. Could you elaborate on what you mean by &quot;the *should* on the section header element and the section as a page structure possibility&quot;?</thetext>
