Its purpose is to delimit sections (beginning and end), in a recursive fashion. Before this patch, a LyXHTML document would look like this: <h2>Title</h2> <h3>Subsection</h3> <p>Something.</p> After (indentation only to improve formatting of this email, it's not implemented): <section> <h2>Title</h2> <section> <h3>Subsection</h3> <p>Something.</p> </section> </section> There are quite a few other new elements in HTML5 that could be useful for this, like article or aside. The only goal is to give more semantics about the document to web crawlers or to assistive technology to better understand the page. (Similarly, Microdata might bring some more semantics: https://schema.org/docs/gs.html.)
