title: What html element to use for react root dom node?
body: <p>I would like to create an app using semantic html. The app will have header, navigation, main area, footer, and side bar.</p>
  
  <p>The app uses react, so there is an index.js and index.html. This is where react renders an element into the root DOM node.</p>
  
  <p><strong>index.js</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code> render(&lt;App /&gt;, document.getElementById('root'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>index.html</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html lang="en"&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
      &lt;title&gt;My Title&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
      //&lt;div id="root"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      // &lt;main id="root"&gt;&lt;/main&gt;
      // &lt;section id="root"&gt;&lt;/section&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect the app to produce something similar to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;some root node&gt;
      &lt;header&gt;
      &lt;nav&gt;
      &lt;main&gt;
      &lt;aside&gt;
      &lt;footer&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since React requires a root node, what element type should that be (what is the most semantically correct)? The root node is inside index.html, therefore a fragment will not solve the problem. I've commented out a few ideas inside index.html which are div, main, and section.</p>
