I know that, I was referring to the <lh> element ie.
<ul>
<lh>A header for the list</lh>
<li>List item</li>
<li>List item</li>
<li>List item</li>
</ul>
Ah, I see. Sorry about that.
My first thought is that allowing the existing header elements
directly inside the ul would make more sense, but I could be missing
something.
There doesn't seem to be any significant semantic difference between
the lh element and the ones already in the spec.

No problem. It's true they're not too different but there are cases
where you may want a heading on a list but it doesn't necessarily
constitute a tier of the document on it's own. It's my understanding
that <h1> - <h6> are more for structure. Perhaps if <h1> to <h6> were
allowed immediately inside of a list it would be useful to HTML authors
anyway but <lh> would be semantically perfect for the job and also
provide a dicrete element away from other headers for styling. Thought
it was worth suggesting here anyway.
