--- Comment #12 from James Craig <jcraig@apple.com> ---
My issue with this is mainly apathy. I don't think there is enough benefit to
the outline depth computation of headings to warrant the implementation and
subsequent author evangelism.

It is also specified in a way that ensures the new method is incompatible with
previous authoring practices. Perhaps some spec changes could be made to
prevent this from being backwards-incompatible. 

One spec change possibility to consider:

Only apply the outline depth to subsequent <h1> elements in a document. This
way, the first <h1> is always level 1, and h2-h6 are unaffected. If an author
wants to use the outline depth pattern, he can use <h1> for all heading, and
all but the first would be  computed. If the author wants to intersperse
headings of an explicit level, he can use h2-h6 unmodified, or h1 with an
explicit aria-level value. This seems reasonably backwards compatible to me.

Thoughts?
