I think better language is "contained" - the microid will claim ownership 
of everything contained in the semantic element.  Beneath is also 
technically correct because the dom is a tree, but it may be confusing 
because sometimes we think of pages literally, and and that "beneath" may 
mean "the rest of the page after the microID" to some people.  Contain is 
nice because the element's closure ends the ownership.

With regard to whole-page claims, this gets a little tricky because a 
microid in the head only connotes ownership of that claim.  We can set up a 
special rule saying "if the microid is in the head, it is a whole page 
claim", I'm not sure there is any way around that.

Thanks,
Fred
