I think that would be confusing for people who have heard of XHTML2's <h> (since it is quite different; HTML5's <h1> is the better match there). Normally that wouldn't be a great concern, but this is one feature of XHTML2 that has received a lot of attention from early adopters, and so confusion on this front could set the wrong trajectory for a long time to come. That is, after all, why we renamed the elements in the first place. :-) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
