<hgroup> should be removed from https://github.com/operasoftware/devopera/edit/master/articles/_posts/2010-12-21-new-structural-elements-in-html5.md as per http://www.sitepoint.com/5-obsolete-features-html5/

It’s still in the WHATWG HTML Standard: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-hgroup-element This boils down to the question: which version of the standard do you consider to be authoritative?
