Finally We Get New Elements In HTML 5

An anonymous reader writes "Pure HTML enhancements hardly grew at all in the last eight years. Forward motion basically stopped in 1999 with HTML 4. Now the future looks bright. Recently, HTML has come back to life with HTML 5. Tons of new elements will be available for structure (article, nav, section, etc.), block semantic elements (aside, figure, dialog), and several other functions."

An article, as division of a document, is semantically no different than any other division of a document. So there is no semantic difference between:

<article>...</article> and <div class="article">...</div>

Inasmuch as there is a difference between an "article" and another division of the document, the distinction is purely a matter of the internal heirarchical structure of a specific document. There is no consistent interpretation that can or should be applied to an "article" beyond that of a division of a document.
