# [REQ] Add support for Section elements

 * Currently the visual editor does not support the HTML5 Section elements: article,
   section, aside, nav, hgroup, header & footer. As a matter of fact, it clobbers
   them when switching from source view to the rich view.
 * Because of the clobbering, it is impossible to add any HTML5 elements when switching
   between the two modes. This makes me quite sad as I adding sections to long pages
   really helps with the layout and organization.
 * I have also made a [ticket](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14264) for 
   this issue.
