Description Ian Devlin 2013-02-13 10:12:07 UTC 
I recently made a blog post that has four different examples on how the main element might be used, and in deciding what elements should go inside and outside of it.

The post is here: http://www.iandevlin.com/blog/2013/02/html5/further-examples-on-using-the-main-element

Some examples along those lines (or indeed feel free to use the ones that I used) might be useful to aid people in its use.

Lifted directly from the website with only minor tweaks for length. Thanks!

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
