To remove hgroup

[emiluzelac]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2013Apr/0003.html dropped hgroup from HTML5.

See #180

[emiluzelac]

Yes and no longer there: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/sections.html#the-hgroup-element at least I can't see it :)

[sabl0r]

You're right :)

It made me a little sad that they dropped this from the Spec. I’ve used it a few times on projects and found it useful. C’est la vie.

As far as Normalize is concerned, perhaps a happy medium could be to add a numbered point in the comments…

/**

• 1. The hgroup element is no longer valid markup and may lose browser support.
• 2. Correct block display not defined in IE 8/9.
     */

article,
aside,
details,
figcaption,
figure,
footer,
header,
hgroup, /* 1 /
main,
nav,
section,
summary {
display: block; / 2 */
}

…or something to that effect. Just a thought ;-)

That will work too.

Two points:

1. hgroup is still in the WHATWG HTML spec: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/sections.html#the-hgroup-element
2. <hgroup> is already in use on a lot of website. Dropping it simply because the W3C HTML spec drops it doesn’t help anyone.

@mathiasbynens ohh then we can use every Markup every time, how we want, you say? W3C is useless, you say?

[necolas]

Yep. Still in WHATWG HTML spec. Might remove it at some point, but this PR doesn't meet the contribution guidelines anyway.

[emiluzelac]

Sounds good :)
