[webkit-dev] Adding <main> element to WebCore

[Ojan Vafai]

As I said on the thread you link to, I don't think this element addresses
any real use-cases. I think people are far too likely to misuse this for it
to be useful for things like readability to use.

If Apple really wants this, I won't object, but my preference would be to
not implement this.
