TT1 Blocks: Main element is missing

[carolinan]

The header template part and footer template part correctly uses <header> and <footer> elements
But in our wishes to keep the theme simple, the <main> element was not used to wrap the main content.

This is an oversight that has negative impacts on accessibility and it needs to be resolved.

Since the query is not a wrapping element -it has no element,
the options are to wrap the query and content in a group block or use template parts.

Template parts are practical for repeated content, I suggest that the simplicity of this theme makes use of group blocks more appropriate.

I agree, that makes sense! I do wonder if maybe the Query block should have an option to accept a wrapper tag though — I imagine that lots of themes will run into this issue. I'll file and issue to discuss in the Gutenberg repo.

I thought it had been discussed and decided against already.

Ah perhaps — It's totally possible that I missed it. 😄

Agreed. We have discussed a main or content semantic template part, but it's a bit of overhead for something that seems simpler. Starting with group + tag seems great to me. It's always possible to convert to a template part later if needed.
