I've been trying to validate some of my HTML5 coding, it seems that i am really messing up the use of <article> by putting it inside <body> or a <div> yet this seems to be logical that there is a <body> and it has a <article> and that these can have <section>.

But alas validator says no, is this my problem or the validators problem?

<article> is an HTML5 element. You're going to have validation issues outside of experimental HTML5 validators.

I worked it out i think, i had some spelling mistakes and it seems articles need things like headers and stuff to be fully valid i think.

Its valid html5 now so all's good.
