Well, "the rank of an |hgroup| element is the same as for an |h1| element", but to superset XHTML2's |h| more or less, |h|/|hgroup| would have to work, i.e. have a text for outlines, without |h#| descendants. <h><h1>Foo</h1></h>, <h><h1>Foo</h1><h2>Bar</h2></h>, <h><h2>Bar</h2><h1>Foo</h1></h>, <h><h2>Foo</h2></h> and <h>Foo</h> would all have to add "Foo" as a highest rank entry to the document (or section) outline. Anyhow, I just wanted to make sure the option was considered. I don't care much either way. It's more important that |header| now matches | footer| better. (And I certainly don't want to reopen the can of worms that is |hr|, which I still would expect to be treated like an empty |section| (or | h#|/|h|/|hgroup|), not like an empty |p|, thus possibly closing implicit sections.)
