Ah, ok. That's the W3C's spec. You'd have to contact them about that.

Hi Tim, Authors must not include more than one main element in a document. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#the-main-element You are pointing to the W3C HTML spec, the WHATWG spec (the one that this mailing list deals with) has a different definition for the main element. -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 14:05:42 -0500 From: Tim Leverett ...@gmail.com To: Ian Hickson i...@hixie.ch Cc: whatwg wha...@whatwg.org Subject: Re: [whatwg] Various threads with feedback on HTML elements Message-ID: CAOiS3y6= iocukjf787sq4oyfdxjfjfryxbjzxbwhrkrk-6s...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 2.
