Elements with custom tag-names would have EXACTLY SAME semantic (as for core
HTML5 semantics) meaning as a common container (S
Ian, it seems you are continuing to confuse two very different things:
1. local semantics;
2. extending existing elements.
They have completely different purposes. Web-developers generally do not need
to _extend_ existing elements (purpose of such extending itself is quite
mysterious for me).
FWIW: my proposal (already successfully rejected) for custom elements (real
custom elements with really arbitrary tag names allowed) in W3 bug tracker from
2011-09-03:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14011
BTW, it seems local semantics (what my proposal is about and what you are
querySelector() and querySelectorAll() methods are exciting features, but they
do not allow select _immediate_ children of reference element.
To address this lack, we could use following syntax:
var divs = refElement.querySelectorAll('> DIV');
Here 'divs' variable contains list of DIV eleme
