           Summary: remove hgroup for HTML spec
    Classification: Unclassified

as per the chairs decision I plan to remove hgroup from the HTML5 spec.
It will be made non conforming, but the implemented parsing rules and user
agent CSS rules will remain (as is usual for obsoleted) elements and add advice
on how to mark up subheadings/subtitles and the like to 

I also plan to do the same as above for HTML 5.1. 

By doing this we can start with a level playing field and allow interested
parties to gather data/define use cases/ do research and create extension specs
for a feature for identifying subheadings, this may be a modified hgroup or
something else or maybe nobody comes up with a good enough set of use
cases/research/data to meet the high bar we should be setting for adding an
element to HTML and we decide that providing advice on how to mark up
subheadings with existing elements is appropriate.
