That was my intention. As I understand it this is not necessarily a
bad thing.

Is there any problem with this?

<h>The Lord of the Rings<line>The Two Towers</line></h>

Yep.

I don't understand. Isn't it still the subtitle of the book as well?
And as such can't the line still represent that the second part is a
subtitle? Since the citation is inside the heading, and the line is
inside the citation, I would think the line represents a subtitle of
the book and not a subtitle of the section.

Perhaps more importantly, how should it be marked up in this case?
