It would be interesting to pursue the stateless Heading element, but I fear we may not get support from the browser vendors, but it would be worth the ask. Given it's so slightly different, I wonder if there's any more chance of it getting implementation support. Do we have any evidence that implementations are more likely to support <section><h/><section><h/></section></section> than they are to support <section><h1/><section><h1/></section></section>? As far as I can see there is nothing to suggest implementations are more likely to support one than the other, and hence the only thing that makes sense to take both off the drawing board given the implication that neither will garner implementation support (i.e., if one is "at risk", then both must be). /Geoffrey.
