Now that 'epub:type="subchapter"' has been deprecated, what should replace it?

A common structure of a book is:

- Chapter 1
- Subchapter 1
- Subchapter 2
- Subchapter 3

Before the type attribute subchapter was deprecated, the XHTML structure would be as follows:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<section epub:type=”chapter”>
<h1>Chapter 1 Title</h1>
<section epub:type=”subchapter”>
<h2>Subchapter 1</h2>
<p>Contents</p>
</section>
<section epub:type=”subchapter”>
<h2>Subchapter 2</h2>
<p>Contents</p>
</section>
<section epub:type=”subchapter”>
<h2>Subchapter 3</h2>
<p>Contents</p>
</section>
</section>
</body>
</html>

So, without “subchapter” what should go there? “Division,” or?

PS—if there is a link to describe how to format text in the IDPF forums I'll happily revise the codeblock
