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

There seems a need for a Scope section... or at least a statement about
the scope of authorship being 'declared/claimed' for each use-case in
section 7.

Here's a stab...


The MicroID declares authorship/ownership of the content 'beneath' it in
the Document Object Model, and nothing more. A MicroID present in the
<meta/> tag specifies a claim for the entire page. A MicroID present in
a <div></div> specifies a claim for only the content residing within
that subset of the page.
