Does that mean I can now create a footer that stays where it should be automatically? I never have quite wrapped my head around footers, so have avoided them. Or is this something that requires the flexible layout thing? Haven’t tried that yet.

What it is referring to is that the HTML5 specs have named section elements such as article, nav, header, and footer - these weren’t easy to create/name in FW before.
