And such a move might also have unintended consequences for
accessibility. AT do give legend in fieldsets a special treatment that
headings do not get. Without careful dialogue and user testing, we
should *not* change the meaning of legend.
However, does not this open up the possibility of getting rid of dt/dd
in details and use an hx element, which is a much better solution from a
semantic POV?
