I like how WHAT WG [www.whatwg.org] defines the heading structure for
Web Applications 1.0 (html5) [http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#headings1]. "The
first heading in a sectioning element gives the header for 
that section. Subsequent headers of equal or higher rank start new 
(implied) sections, headers of lower rank start subsections that are 
part of the previous one."

This doesn't translate perfectly for the XHTML2 heading structure (they retain h1-h6 and make it
fit into heading/section structure instead of just h), but I think something similar might be
appropriate. I still think providing an outline the markup creates would help clearify things.
