Re: Proposal on html HEADING elements

Why limit to 9 levels? Why not just say Hn where n is any real whole number? 

On the other hand what might be a little nicer is just to have an H tag and let the number be implied by the tag's relative nesting level. The CSS could be H.n where n is the nesting level. 

If you are working on a book and want to move a sub sub sub section heading to another location would you really want to figure out it's new h level? Or should it's relative position indicate nesting level and therefore which style to use?

At present, we need to resort to something like <div class="h7">. A single-document format for a large book problematic in many ways and hardly the best primary format, but as a secondary format, it may well serve people who wish to use search facilities, print the material, or convert it to other formats.
