Ok that makes sense i suppose. Just to make sure i get it, you want
to allow headings to be scope-generating without being nested in the
document, rather than use the list-method where a common ancestor
is needed?
h1 {counter-reset: h2 0 h3 0 h4 0...}
h2 {counter-reset: h3 0 h4 0...}

The second problem could perhaps be addressed in the
definition of the counters function, by making it not include the
"initital" reset.
