Re: using strong to indicate a title?

I would prefer using attributes to specifically add the relation you want
rather than it being implied.

I don't like the use of <small> as its current definition is to represent
"side comments" which a subtitle would not be (it's more important than
that). I know that we can of course change the meaning of the element in
the specification, but as Mallory says for <strong>, this would mean
changing the meaning of this element again.
