The spec says "an Entry Title element is identified by the class name  
headline -  an Entry Title element may alternately be identified by  
the <h#> element in an Entry," which makes it sound as if  
class="headline" takes precedence over <h#>, which would make that a  
parsing error. Either way, it appears precedence should be clarified  
in the spec.
