As well as in block quotations that quote other HTML documents containing headings. Or in bilingual documents where one could use a table for genuinely tabular data: a row consisting of headings (and I mean H1 through H6, not TH) in different languages, then rows consisting of parallel texts etc. The idea of forcing "true sectioning" into HTML without actually using true sectioning markup seems to have lead to an absurdity. -- Yucca, http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/ or http://yucca.hut.fi/yucca.html
