Re: indicating subtitles using small

OK so there has been continuing discussion on the issue of using <small> in
the comments of post about headings and subtitles[1]

and mallory[3] pointed out that according to bootstrap [2]:

"For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the small tag."

While I don't see a case for defining the <small> element as explicitly
indicating a subtitle I am partial to the idea of <small> de-emphasizing
text

This is deemed more important than <small>this</small>, by the author.

thoughts?
