What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

That section lists the search element right after the section element.
They should be swapped.

I sadly cannot fix this myself, as I prefer not to doxx myself on the internet.

I was going to fix this, but the longer I stare at

address, blockquote, center, div, figure, figcaption, footer, form, header, hr,
legend, listing, main, p, plaintext, pre, summary, xmp, article, aside, h1, h2,
h3, h4, h5, h6, hgroup, nav, section, search, table, caption, colgroup, col,
thead, tbody, tfoot, tr, td, th, dir, dd, dl, dt, menu, ol, ul, li, [dir=ltr i],
[dir=rtl i], [dir=auto i], *|* {

the less sure I am about the order that was intended here.

Wait, this selector is mystifying. What's with the *|* there at the end, that's the super-universal selector, it subsumes the entire rest of the selector. I'm very confused.
