Discussion seems to have started in this thread: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Mar/0663.html Ian announced the change (header/hgroup) here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Apr/0285.html First mention of hgroup I can find on the whatwg list (from James Graham): http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-April/019225.html And I also agree that what James has suggested in bug 11731 is a better arrangement. hgroup as currently spec'd is confusing IMO.
