I'm basically following this model -
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/previewofhtml5
It took very little work since I was essentially doing that already.
aside is the most logical html 5 layout tag for describing the sidebar
in a two column layout.
I suppose one could put multiple aside elements in a classic <div
{id,class}="sidebar"> but I don't really see the benefit.
Since the aside used as a sidebar is neither a child of the article or
section, it is an aside to the main content div.
