title: The section is not for generic purpose
body: <p>I am trying to understand the purpose of the section and found the following article:  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The section element is not a generic container element. Now I know
    what it says. It says above that it represents a generic section of a
    document. When people write specifications, sometimes they get vague.
    It is not a generic container.</p>
    
    <p>When an element is needed only for styling purposes or as a
    convenience for scripting, things like JavaScript, authors are
    encouraged to use the div element, which we'll talk about in just a
    little bit. So a general rule is that the section element is
    appropriate only if the elements contents would be listed explicitly
    in the documents outline and that's where it reaches the sweet spot.
    When you have content that needs to be listed in the document outline
    but it doesn't meet the standard of being syndicated or pushed apart
    by itself, then that's when the section element is probably
    appropriate.  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The questions are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>What is a generic container?</li>
  <li>What does he mean with <em>styling purposes
  or as a convenience for scripting</em>?</li>
  </ul>
