Are there any plans to bring list headers from HTML3 into HTML5? They'd

You can do this in HTML5, using <figure> and <legend>:

   <figure>
    <legend>A header for the list</legend>
    <ul>
     <li>List item</li>
     <li>List item</li>
     <li>List item</li>
    </ul>
   </figure>

HTH,
  

Thanks Ian, and thanks to Lachlan and Christian for discussing it and 
helping to clear some things up for me.

It's going to take me a while to get used to the more creative uses of 
the new HTML5 elements!

Thanks again.
