But I must admit that the first thing that came to mind when reading Steve's proposal for <strong>, I wondered why the proposal wasn't for <small>. So depending on whether you want the smaller heading above or below the larger one, we could do either of the following:

Of the two, I like the second one better. Small has always meant
"sub" in my mind, read out loud differently like legal text and
under-the-breath mutters. First example makes much less sense, since
if you just want a styling sandbag, span makes more sense.
