Description steve faulkner 2014-05-17 10:19:51 UTC 
"A general rule is that the article element is appropriate only if the element's contents would be listed explicitly in the document's outline."

"The theme of each article should be identified, typically by including a heading (h1-h6 element) as a child of the article element."
