What is the section tag? How would it be used?
See this intro to XHTML2,
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-xhtml/
In part it means you don't need <h1> <h2> <h3> anymore, you just have <h> and you derive the heading level by the number of <section>s it's within. It removes the arbitrary <h6> as the smallest heading you can do, and it's also how Docbook does it.
Using <sections> and <h> tags also means you get more structure for CSS selectors, and other XML processing tools. To match paragraphs under headings 3 sections deep you'd type,
section section section p { font-size:xx-small ; }Or to make different sized headings based on their depth you'd write,
section h { font-size:large; }
section section h { font-size:medium; }
section section section h { font-size:small; }[I'm not commenting on whether XHTML 2 will be popular, but that's one idea behind it]
