Do others feel there are *elements* of presentation creeping back
into the structure?
...
The second does this by the semantically defining the presentation
structure. (IMHO)
Geoff,
You can certainly make a good argument that <header> and <footer>
denote positional placement on the page -- header means "at the
beginning" and footer means "at the end" -- but I don't see how
<nav>, <article>, and <aside> convey presentation -- they individuate
the various parts of the page and convey the semantic meaning of
each, but communicate nothing about how they'll be presented.
How does <nav> "semantically define the presentation structure" while
<table>, <ol>, and <h1> do not?
Curiously,
Paul
