It just occurred to me: because of this particular possibility, it's  
probable that <article> either won't be used or will be abused so that  
advertisements are put inside <article> instead of being left outside.  
Otherwise it will be too easy for a user to hide all ads (e.g. with a  
toggle button).

BTW, there's no easy way in today's CSS to hide everything except  
<article>.
