Time to remove hgroup?

It's no longer supported by HTML5. I've posted about it in more detail here https://drupal.org/node/2144611

There's probably still a lot of people using that tag (even though I agree it left the spec earlier this year), so I see no reason to remove it from the shiv. It's what, about 7 bytes of extra code?

How about at the 1 year anniversary of it leaving HTML5? Just want it marked for removal at some point.

@mgifford, that's a great request, but would you support it with some recent usage stats for <hgroup>? Otherwise, it would be irresponsible of us to save ~6 bytes and break websites.

You may also want to update your other tickets with the correction that the WHATWG spec has not removed <hgroup> and the W3C has yet to replace it with a suitable counterpart.

Interesting addition @jonathantneal - appreciate it.
