I'm not a clever spec-writery person, but I did an HTML5 Doctor simplequiz about how to mark up products <a href="http://html5doctor.com/html5-simplequiz-1/" target="_blank">http://html5doctor.com/html5-<u></u>simplequiz-1/</a> and concluded that <article> was the right man for the job, on the basis of the spec quote you cite (here was my raitionale <a href="http://html5doctor.com/html5-simplequiz-1/#comment-11004" target="_blank">http://html5doctor.com/html5-<u></u>simplequiz-1/#comment-11004</a>)<br>

I can't remember who said it to me, but I find it helps enormously not to think of article as newspaper articles, but think of it as a synonym for "item".<br>

YMMV, natch<br><font color="#888888">

If that really is the underlying aim when introducing this element, I think it's quite clear that it is appropriate for a product. How we discover if that is the aim, I don't know.</p>
