This is a very simple fix and solves my problems, so I am all for a merge here.

What's the hold up?

Unfortunately this change doesn't result in the correct markdown. For example, the following HTML:

<a href="http://example.com/heading"><h1>heading</h1></a>

gets converted to:

[heading
=======](http://example.com/heading)

and so when converted back to HTML is:

<p><a href="http://example.com/heading">heading
=======</a></p>

This is quite a complex issue, and becomes trickier when multiple block elements are wrapped in a <a> (see #313 (comment)). Ideally the HTML should be changed so that the <a> only wraps text. So currently your best bet is to mutate the HTML to fix these issues before passing it in to Turndown.

thanks for responding to this. hopefully we'll see some movement.
