Re: rationale for inclusion of hgroup in html5?

Hi anne,

I understand that having a subheading/subtitle is quite common, What i am
seeking is detailed reasoning on why hgroup was chosen as the method to
represent the semantics of subheadings. Even some data on the use of hgroup
like container elements around heading/subheadings would be useful, for
example the example you cite:

<h1><a id="title" name="title">Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth
Edition)</a></h1>
<h2><a id="w3c-doctype" name="w3c-doctype">W3C Recommendation 26 November
2008</a></h2>

uses a <div class="head"> to go around the headings and other content, not a
div acting as a container for the heading/subheading.



regards
stevef
