How do search engines interpret <hgroup>...</hgroup> tags?

[LMDNYC]

Hi there.

I'm building an HTML 5 site and through research of new HTML 5 elements I've seen little conclusive information about the interpretation of the new

<hgroup>tag, in terms of SEO application and interpretation.

In particular does Google interpret the nested heading tags as individual elements or does it combine them into one entity?

For example, say I have:

<hgroup> # Article Heading ## Article Sub-heading </hgroup>

How is this interpreted by Google and what would be some good SEO best practices regarding the

<hgroup>tag in HTML5: Is it interpretted as a single

tag ("

Article Heading: Article Sub-heading

") or two separate heading tags (one

and one

)?

Also, how much does the ordering of the tags matter (say for example I wanted something like the following for visual purposes?

<hgroup> ## Article Sub-heading # Article Heading </hgroup>

One last thing: is it safe to assume that it is indeed OK to have multiple

tags on a single page (as referenced by Matt Cutts a while back in a Webmaster Video)?

Thanks!
