<font size="4"><font face="georgia,serif">I'd agree with this one - I think it is rather unfortunate that so much attention is paid to blogs as the 'standard' information type when discussing html5 - it seems that every book I've seen quotes blogs as their key examples. It would be much better to think of the magazine article as the typical <article>, since lengthy articles of this type often have separately headed <sections> consisting of several paragraphs. "Section" is appropriate for the comments section of a blog, but a new tag <comments> would be even more useful!<br>

As far as I understand, the "article" tag is for marking up self-contained pieces of content. In other words, content that can be taken out of context and distributed / reproduced elsewhere as a separate unit, with no loss of meaning. <br>
<br>Wrapping each comment into it's own "article" tag seem to be wrong for that reason. A comment, taken out of the context of the article and other comments, would not represent a meaningful, self-contained piece of content. <br>
<br>Here's how I'd mark up the example above:<div class="im"><br><br>> <article><br>
> <h1>Cicero dictos est</h1><br>

> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur<br>

</div></div>That's indeed what the spec suggests.<br>
