! 360: element is not a generic container element. When an element is
! 361: needed only for styling purposes or as a convenience for scripting,
! 362: authors are encouraged to use the <code><a href="the-div-element.html#the-div-element">div</a></code> element instead.
! 363: A general rule is that the <code><a href="#the-section-element">section</a></code> element is
! 364: appropriate only if the element's contents would be listed
! 365: explicitly in the document's <a href="headings-and-sections.html#outline">outline</a>.</p><div class="example">

! 388: <p>Notice how the use of <code><a href="#the-section-element">section</a></code> means that the author
