I figured that the genesis of that note was the comment thread on Bruce's post but it only makes sense in the context of H1+H2. Ah well. -- Jeremy Keith a d a c t i o http://adactio.com/

[whatwg] Note on the DETAILS element
The text for begins with a definition: "The hgroup element represents the heading of a section. The element is used to group a set of h1–h6 elements when the heading has multiple levels, such as subheadings, alternative titles, or taglines." But then has this note immediately afterwards: "The point of hgroup is to mask an h2 element (that acts as a secondary title) from the outline algorithm." As far as I can tell, this is incorrect. The point of an hgroup is actually to mask *all but one* heading element from the outline algorithm. The note *does* apply to the examples provided: Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb ...but wouldn't be true in this case: Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb In this case, the hgroup element is masking an h4 element (that acts as a secondary title) from the outline algorithm. Even in cases where the hgroup *is* masking an h2, the note would still be incorrect because more heading elements can be hidden from the outline algorithm. e.g.: Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb By Stanley Kubrick The note would make sense if it were moved down to the examples and prefaced with "In this case..." -- Jeremy Keith a d a c t i o http://adactio.com/
