If that's what you mean, why not write it this way?

    <h1>HTML5
       <span class="subtitle">
        A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML<br>
        Editor's Draft 9 October 2009</span></h1>

Your version with split <h2> seems to use it only for visual effect.


I still think that <subtitle> (subheader, tagline) would be just as  
effective, less confusing and less likely to break outline when used  
improperly...
