Ah, to top-post or to bottom-post, that is the question! :-)

Agreed. Plus that's consistent with the terminology in the HTML specs.

Well, it does get tricky. What if we have this?
<html>
<head>
<meta name='microid' content='foo'/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The Foo Page!</h1>
<div class='microid-bar'>
<h2>The Bar Area!</h2>
<p class='microid-baz'>Hey Bar, I like your area!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Confusing, eh?
So the relevant claim is always that of the nearest containing element
in the hierarchy.
