The "correct implementation" bit was the problem. Due to either a bug or
misunderstanding of the spec or whatever, it was very easy to get to
ridiculously high heading levels by just nesting an h6 into 5 levels of
sections, for example. Anyway this was so screwed up that Freedom Scientific
pulled it in JAWS 15 and went back to using h1 through h6 as they always were,
ignoring section nesting. And thus far, that was the only "implementation" of
the accessibility side of that outline algorithm in existence.

The number 4711 was meant to symbolize "arbitrary". It actually refers to some
smelly aftershave and perfume brand.
