No me gusta: means changing meaning of strong (for a second time), 
and UAs would have to check parent of strong to decide which meaning
it has. Strong also doesn't solve the mottos/slogans/taglines/banners
issue people were using multiple headings+hgroup for, since for me
those things never belonged in hx tags to begin with.

I think I don't generally like the idea of one tag having two very
different, contextual meanings, though I'm sure someone already
does and I'm just not coming up with them at the moment.

Still think the idea of saying "everyone sibling to hx inside a
<header> tag has some special association with the hx" is nicer since
then the tags still keep their actual normal original meaning and
can encompass non-subtitle content. Including images. Not entirely
certian what the special association would be, if any, unless rel
attributes could somehow be used.

<header><hx id="foo">Meijer</hx><p rel="foo">Why Pay More?</p></header>
