Hi Isac-

Could you give us a little more background about why this is important?

Hi Jen, 
the new <main> element is being implemented in firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=820508 and webkit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103172 and it has been added to the html5shiv[1][2] so that developers can style and use <main> in Internet Explorer as well.

You should just update the existing html5shiv https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/media/js/libs/html5shiv.js to the one that has <main> support.

After that bedrock can use <main> :)
