H1 - H6 make great Headings.
What they don’t make is great Titles*

*hence the common practice of using only one H1 in a page to match the content of <title> and <p class="subtitle"> to match <meta name="Description"> to ensure good SEO).


Please can we broaden the topic as we are focusing on headings and missing an opportunity to introduce Title and Sub-Title where they should be, visible in the page not hidden in <head>.

>> And if so, why not drop <hgroup> entirely and allow a subtitle element inside h[1-6] elements?

And my point entirely - a "sub" (sic) "title" should surely be a subsidiary of "Title" and not a "Heading".

As for <hgroup> itself, this may be useful still for page content but HTML falls way short of a having a good solutions for TOCs.
