 > @afercia: I'm close to getting this in so we can stop defining custom
 template tags in themes for that.
 @obenland hi, my personal opinion is still that this is more helpful for
 theme authors than for final users, as your sentence above implies :) I'd
 recommend to pair it with #31315 as @helen suggested, because WordPress
 should never output markup without giving developers the ability to easily
 change it.

 > in light of default themes (and _s-based themes) using the same markup
 already?
 it always depends on the content structure and the total number of
 navigational landmarks in a page so there's not an ultimate answer. Using
 one more `<nav>` is not a problem ''per se'' but it may be, especially if
 developers are going to use it thinking that it's always right "because
 WordPress does it this way" :)
