A <lh> (same as a caption to a table) would be semantically connected
to the list. That is better semantics than an header tied to
"everything before the next heading". Furthermore, I need to front
load lists and not have them tied to a heading or paragraph (e.g.
navigation lists).
And, according to the example, it'd be more like (sorry don't have
the original right now):
<h1>A list on stuff</h1>
<ol>
<li>I, Item</li>
<li><h2>Item, the God</h2>
<ol>
<li>Plot synopsis</li>
<li>Characters</li>
<li>Stunning conclusion</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
That isn't as clean as the example originally provided using <lh>.
