Hey all. I looked through the issues and didn't find anything directly related so I'm opening an issue.
I read in #1036430: HTML5ify block.tpl.php and region.tpl.php that the changes to region.tpl.php were pushed. After looking at the code and testing out the theme, it looks like that this code push has made sidebars elements. These should be elements.

This patch overrides the default region template, similar to the footer, and adds the aside element.

We discussed this at length here: #872376: Misuse of <section>.
The consensus was that we can't possibly know if a sidebar should be an aside or not, and we chose to err on the generic side.

Not a bad idea. I see it's closed and I must have filtered by open only.
