For example, if I have a [DJW:] This could be argued to be an authoring question and therefore off topic. Basically you use the *element* that best approximates the intended meaning and use style sheets to distinguish it - use a class to identify the detailed semantics. HTML is deliberately simplified compared with, say, the DOCBOOK DTD, and the very low takeup of structural markup means there is little pressure to add things like titles and sub-titles. For heavy technical documents consider DOCBOOK as the master, and maybe run it through a DOCBOOK to HTML convertor for those who want to view it as HTML (although the conversions I've seen have not been particularly good at mapping docbook to HTML sementics).
