I've renamed the old <header> to <hgroup>.
Did you consider using 'h' instead?
I think that would be confusing for people who have heard of
XHTML2's <h>
(since it is quite different; HTML5's <h1> is the better match there).
Well, "the rank of an |hgroup| element is the same as for an |h1|
element", but to superset XHTML2's |h| more or less, |h|/|hgroup|
would have to work, i.e. have a text for outlines, without |h#|
descendants.
<h><h1>Foo</h1></h>,
<h><h1>Foo</h1><h2>Bar</h2></h>,
<h><h2>Bar</h2><h1>Foo</h1></h>,
<h><h2>Foo</h2></h> and
<h>Foo</h>
would all have to add "Foo" as a highest rank entry to the document
(or section) outline.
Anyhow, I just wanted to make sure the option was considered. I don't
care much either way. It's more important that |header| now matches |
footer| better.
(And I certainly don't want to reopen the can of worms that is |hr|,
which I still would expect to be treated like an empty |section| (or |
h#|/|h|/|hgroup|), not like an empty |p|, thus possibly closing
implicit sections.)
