Anyway, I do think it's a problem for styling, automatic content
extraction and non-CSS presentation that HTML lacks the markup for
indicating which parts of the page are content proper and which are
navigation and other chrome. Therefore, a footer element
for isolating
navigation and legal stuff from content would make sense. (Already

I hope the <nav>, <footer>, and <article> elements help this case.
How should advertisements be marked up?
It's worth considering that an <advert> element (or <banner> or whatever
you decide to call it) would just cause style rules like advert
{display:none;} to become widespread (e.g. by integration into Adblock
and equivalent). Therefore I can't see this type of markup being used by
most advertisers.
