CSS Regions

  .content {
    /* collect content into a named flow */
    flow-into: myFlow;
  }

  .region {
    /* render the content from the named flow */
    flow-from: myFlow;
  }

Markup Separation

  <!-- content: semantic markup -->
  <article> 
    <h1>Title</h1>
    <p>...</p>    
  </article>

  <!-- layout: helper markup -->
  <div class="region"></div>
  <div class="region"></div>
  <div class="region"></div>  

Aggregate content

  /* collect content from different places */
  header nav, 
  footer a {
    flow-into: menuFlow;
  }

  #menu {
    flow-from: menuFlow;
  }
