I have re-opened and asked it be removed until the working group has made a
decision.

I would certainly not want to distract Ian, I just want to ensure that
hgroup is dealt with by the HTML WG as a last call issue.

if there is little effort on Ian's part involved in removing it then i
suggest this would be the best course of action, so the HTML WG can review
and decide upon whether its inclusion is warranted by the use cases or there
are better ways to satisfy said uses cases, during last call.
