Comment:
The use of the 'main' element in this example is inconsistent with the W3C
Working Draft section 4.4.13 The main element, 'Authors must not include more
than one main element in a document.' Furthermore 'Authors must not include
the main element as a descendant of an article, aside, footer, header or nav
element'.
