I can parse that question it two different ways.  Forgive me if I chose 
to answer the one that I want. :-)

You are indeed missing something, hgroup does not appear in the following:

http://www.html5accessibility.com/HTML5extensions/HTML5.html#interfaces

So my question to you is: could you live with adding this back in?  If 
not, why not?

My question to everybody else is: would the resulting draft match what 
we would expect if the portions of hgroup that are "at risk" were 
removed?  If not, what else should be added back in?

If we can agree on this, perhaps we can expedite this by asking Steve to 
produce a github pull request (I can talk you through it Steve if 
necessary) and to issue a CfC on this matter.
