I think we shouldn't put the parsing algorithm on a pedestal while not
giving the same treatment to the default UA style sheet or other
requirements related to an element that have to be implemented.
The difference between the parsing algorithm on the UA stylesheet is
that authors can put display: block; in the author stylesheet during
the transition.
I guess that's fair.
That said, the example jgraham showed to me on IRC convinced me that
if <main> is introduced to the platform, it makes sense to make it
parse like <article>. :-( (I’m not a fan of the consequences of the
“feature” of making </p> optional. Too bad that feature is ancient and
it’s too late on undo it.)
For the record, the example is:
<main><p></main><p>
(The last <p> can be anything.)
I guess I’ll focus on objecting to new void elements and especially to
new children of <head>.
