"For the purposes of document summaries, outlines, and the like," should be

e.g. resonable to join the headings with ": " if the hgroup is used for
heading+subheading.

Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2011-11-11 07:18:30 UTC 
Either is fine with me.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-12-07 23:19:42 UTC 
I'll nuke the paragraph and make sure there's an example somewhere that gives sample behaviour.
