This is a great issue and one where I think the WSG can take the lead and put forward a standard.
To Patrick's comment.... 'header' is a tricky one and your points about its print origins are very valid. Perhaps we can take that and still use the print reference by calling it 'masthead' as this actually does refer to all the elements you spoke of and doesn't have the same presentational weight as 'header'. Perhaps there can be a list of appropriate 'values' for IDs or classes. Most of us already use: container wrapper header/masthead nav content footer Maybe we can formalise this list so that it becomes a 'see-if-any-of-these-are-relevant-first' list of values that people can use. If what they need is not on the list then they can make up their own... If anyone wants to add to this list maybe we can pass it around and when it gets comprehensive enough, put it up on the WSG site as a resource. Just a thought...
