bootstrap: Incorrect usage of the small element as subtext
The suggested usage of the <small> element within a <h> element in order to markup a subtext is incorrect usage of the <small> element.
The HTML5 specification states that:
The small element represents side comments such as small print.
It then gives examples of small print:
Small print typically features disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights. Small print is also sometimes used for attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements.
A subtitle or subtext within a <h> element does not match the specification definition of small print and therefore the <small> should not be used in this manner.

You don’t care about what the spec says? Don’t you think you have a duty to promote good practices and proper use of tags rather than the complete opposite? On 5 Apr 2013 23:14, “Mark Otto” notifications@github.com wrote:
