[OSX-Users] Safari 5 - Safari Reader

I just installed Safari 5, and I'm quite liking the safari reader. However, I'm completely flummoxed as to how it's deciding what's an article, and what parts of the DOM make the article's body. Does anyone have any technical documentation?

for example, on my home page (users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/lac), it picks out the <div> immediately preceded by the comment <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Main Content" -->

whereas on the NYTimes article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/magazine/06Squatters-t.html
it finds the <div class="articleBody"> and successfully links up pages joined by <a class="next"/>

WTF?
