I wouldn't mind both, but if a <subtitle> is made, still also need to keep the idea currently sitting in <header> <hx>Main heading</hx> <p>supporting sub-thingie</p> </header> Subtitles are indeed pretty common; they could have their own tag. The use cases are separate and I believe hgroup combined them, inappropriately. A <subtitle> or whatever would not need a wrapping <header> either. -Mallory On Tue, May 07, 2013 at 03:34:50PM +0100, Steve Faulkner wrote: > On Tue, May 07, 2013 at 10:23:35PM +0800, Christopher Healey wrote: > > > > Obviously subheadings are used frequently.
