"For the purposes of document summaries, outlines, and the like," should be
treated as a UI issue, and should not be restricted in what text to use. It is
e.g. resonable to join the headings with ": " if the hgroup is used for
heading+subheading.

That seems reasonable. Do you think we should remove the paragraph entirely, or
do you think there is value in some weaker wording as implementation advice? If
the latter, what do you think it should say?

Either is fine with me.

I'll nuke the paragraph and make sure there's an example somewhere that gives
