Hi Jerome, friends,
* Would it make sense to use <aside> for the
right sidebar ?
The aside is actually only for the comments, attachments, history and info
sections of the sidebar only. The reason behind this is that according to
html5 specs:
The aside element represents a section of a page that consists of content
that is
tangentially related to the content around the asideelement, and
which could be considered separate from that content. Such sections are
often represented as sidebars in printed typography. (

which I thought is appropriate for those sections.
* I've seen you've used <article> as an overall wrapper. Wouldn't
<section>
be more appropriate, with articles implemented within
the content of the
document ? (BTW this leads to the question of how this would translate in
wiki syntax. So far there is no such notion built right in - though .it
could be implemented with macros).
The reason I used article as an overall wrapper for the "main content" (the
stuff with the white background), according to the html5 specs:
"The article element represents a component of a page that consists of a
self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site and
that is intended to be independently distributable or reusable, e.g. in
syndication. This could be a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, a
blog entry, a user-submitted comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or
any other independent item of content." (

I thought this is appropriate since the entire "main content" is the self
contained part of the page that can be independent of the other parts (like
menu, asides, sidebars etc.)
The use of section I thought is appropriate because each gadgets is in a
way a section/part of the overall article, and of the sidebar.
"The section element represents a generic document or application
section" (
http://html5doctor.com/the-section-element/)
These are just my thoughts on the components of a webpage of xwiki,
however. Do you think this is not the correct interpretation of the xwiki
parts?
Thanks for looking into the code!
