Are there any plans to bring list headers from HTML3 into HTML5?
They'd make a lot of markup patterns simpler and be very very useful

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>
Hm.
<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-figure-element>:
"The figure element represents some flow content, optionally with a
caption, which can be moved away from the main flow of the document
without affecting the document's meaning."
I don't think this is usually the case for a list.

the story but presented in a data/extra info context to back it up.
