If you fed that markup into a tool that produced the outline of the
document (e.g. for a screen reader, a toc generator or an ordinary
browser navigation aid), it would look something like
+Romeo and Juliet
+--+--a tragedy in Italian style
Which isn't right; there is no subsection of the document called "a
tragedy in Italian style". The idea of <header> is that you should be
able to say:
<header>
<h1>Romeo and Juliet</h1>
<h3>a tragedy in Italian style</h3>
</header>
And get an outline like:
+Romeo and Juliet
As I have pointed out elsewhere the <header> element appears to be very
confusingly named, hence I advocate introducing <hgroup> for this use
case and either using <header> to mean "the generic top matter of the
document" or finding some other, less ambiguous, name to mean the same
thing.
