Description steve faulkner 2012-12-21 12:53:34 UTC
HTML5.1 currently has a definition [1] of the main content that conflicts with the main extension spec [2]

[1]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/common-idioms.html#the-main-part-of-the-content
[2] https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-extensions/raw-file/tip/maincontent/index.html

request that the definition in HTML5.1 spec be removed and someone can then step forward to champion the definition currently residing in HTMl5.1 as an extension spec.
