<aside> and <nav> CAN be used more than once. for example you can have <nav> in <header> and at the same time you can have it in <aside><nav>.
the same applies for <aside> - you can have to sidebars <aside id="sdbr1"><aside id="sdbr2"> and at the same time you can have <aside> inside of <article>. also remember that <nav> and <aside> needs to have heading element inside (otherwise the <aside> or <nav> will be Untitled), which will create more proper structure for your document.
