If we want to  tighten up the definition of <small> and exclude its use  
for subheadings, I suggest tightening up the wording:

at the moment, the useful definition of <small> is in a note, which is  
therefore non-normative.

How about making the definition "The small element represents legalese  
(often colloquially called "small print") such as disclaimers, caveats,  
legal restrictions, copyrights,  attribution, or for satisfying licensing  
requirements."

And make the first note say "It is not appropriate for representing  
sub-headers or sublines".
