Hum. But I don't think that they should be seperate. Instead, the
main header is actually a part of the larger header (including the
subheader) which is a larger part of the sub-subheader. To illustrate:
<section>
<h>
<subheader>
<mainheader>Eating Grass</mainheader>: The time of your
life
</subheader>
<subheader>
By Bison
</subheader>
</h>
In this case, a table of contents may only want to include the parts
of the header that are most important, in this case, "Eating Grass",
but the whole thing is actually the header. Maybe the best way to
mark this up would be for headers to simply be allowed to contain
other headers
