Publication and Section Titling

Publication sections titles (e.g. chapter) often include many components, such as chapter number, chapter title, and subtitle. This is commonly marked up as h1 with spans or h1-h3. For example:

<header><h1>span class="chapterNumber"><Chapter X </span>

<span class="chapterTitle">Chapter Title: </span>

<span class="chapterSubTitle">Subtitle</span></h1></header>

Defining a uniform method that demonstrates the relationship of the title elements would enable cleaner markup that improves display and usability/discoverability.
