div、section、article 的区别（2）

article

HTML Spec: “The article element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site and that is, in principle, independently distributable or reusable, e.g. in syndication.”

article 是一个特殊的 section 标签，它比 section 具有更明确的语义, 它代表一个独立的、完整的相关内容块。一般来说， article 会有标题部分(通常包含在 header 内)，有时也会 包含 footer 。虽然 section 也是带有主题性的一块内容，但是无论从结构上还是内容上来说，article 本身就是独立的、完整的。

HTML Spec 中接着又列举了一些 article 适用的场景。 “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.”

当 article 内嵌 article 时，原则上来说，内部的 article 的内容是和外层的 article 内容是相关的。例如，一篇博客文章中，包含用户提交的评论的 article 就应该潜逃在包含博客文章 article 之中。

问题是怎么才算“完整的独立内容”？有个最简单的判断方法是看这段内容在 RSS feed 中是不是完整的。看这段内容脱离了所在的语境，是否还是完整的、独立的。

例子：

<article>
 <header>

  <p><time pubdate datetime="2009-10-09T14:28-08:00"></time></p>

 <p>If there's a microphone anywhere near you, assume it's hot and
 sending whatever you're saying to the world. Seriously.</p>
 <p>...</p>
 <footer>
  <a href="?comments=1">Show comments...</a>
