But the spec also goes on to state (next paragraph): "Other elements
of heading content in the hgroup element indicate subheadings or
subtitles."

Is your contention that this should be read as part of the previous
paragraph (i.e. "only for the purposes of document summaries,
outlines, and the like")?

For screen reader users listening to an aural presentation, scenarios
1-2 /could/ be presented as per my examples earlier in the thread and
scenarios 3-5 /could/ be presented using the HTML5 outline.

Assuming the document semantics are right in the first place (big if),
it's up to UAs and ATs how they /render/ them.
