I don't think XOXO cares about "headers" -- everything is determined  
by the structure.  So, I assume <h2> et al would be part of the text  
(or ignore) not part of the XOXO structure per se.

However, the very existence of headers implies that one can NOT do  
trivial YAML-like serialization.  Kevin, does your parser even try to  
deal with that?

Good question.  I suspect the answer may be context-dependent.  If  
you're writing a parser, you could try to grab any list, but there's  
always the risk that it wouldn't keep the "xoxo" contract implied by  
the class name.
