  If the CSS had been available from the start, things could have developed
  that way.  It is, however, far better design not to use explicit levels but
  rather nesting constructs.  The fact that these headings do not nest but
  sort of "float" in the overall body may have been a good idea to some people
  at some time, but it is generally only a recipe for abuse, which is also the
  development we have seen.
