a new content-flow element for non-related stuffs

[estarapapax]

I'm currently creating a website and I decided to use html 5 in it. I used section, article, header, nav, aside and footer. But I got stuck in one problem. Where should I put the advertisements? These are totally unrelated to my articles. I originally thought that aside may suffice, but W3.org defines it as for "tangentially related" contents (and w3schools.com says it is for stand-alone but related contents). If were going to follow the philosophy behind these new elements, I think it's better to create a new element for non-related contents or we can just change the definition of aside.

It's pointless to have dedicated markup for ads because no-one would use it since it would be too easy to block ads.

An ad can go in any section of a web page, so that's another reason why it's pointless to define an ad space.

On the other hand, I could go for <adspace>...

User javascript:

Code: Select all

ads = document.getElementsByTagName('adspace');
for (adspace in ads) {
  ads[adspace].parentNode.removeChild(ads[adspace]);
}
