You're looking at the W3C fork of the HTML spec.

The WHATWG standard says:

   Contexts in which this element can be used:
   Where flow content is expected.

See: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-main-element

Differences like this are why I've previously asked the W3C to stop 
forking the WHATWG specs, but they have so far refused.
