If you wish to create a valid and semantically correct document according to the most recently published HTML standard, then using <hgroup> is fine. > As far as validation, a document with the hgroup element will not pass > when using the W3C Markup Validation Service.

They're basically the same but the validator.nu one is closer to the WHATWG spec's requirements than the W3C one.
