it's annoying that it can't be used more than once per page. It would be useful to also have a <content> element, e.g.

    <article>
        <header>...</header>
        <content>...</content>
        <footer>...</footer>
    </article>

W3C states explicitly that it can't so this is yet another instance where whatwg and w3c disagree leaving developers wondering what to do. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...

Maybe using section there would be acceptable, it's the closest thing I can think of at least.
