            Bug ID: 25393
           Summary: outline depth calculation should not include empty
                    sections

Including sections without Hx leads to illogical outline depths for headings
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/sections.html#outline-depth

example:

<body>
<h1>heading</h1>

<section>
<section>
<section>
<h1>heading</h1>
</section>
</section>
</section>

results in 

<h1>
<h4>
</body>

given that use of sectioning elements in the wild are prone to this type of
misuse, ignoring sections without headings seems prudent.
