Ok make sense

Make sense too. My concern was about leaving enough room for application
developers (whose canvases are XWiki documents) to present their own
semantics. For example a blog application could want to present a list of
<article>. But maybe nesting <article> inside a main <article> element is
just fine.

Any thoughts ?
