Re: Always use h1-h6 by level again

I haven’t seen it as a problem on the web (in a way that couldn’t be solved by simplifying the page), but do ebooks count in this context?

Lack of headings beyond level 6 is a concern for the Digital Publishing Interest Group, and seems to be solid use-case for either more levels, or level-less headings:

I would certainly agree with removing the advice on a non-implemented algorithm (the all-h1 method), and proposing a separate level-less <h> tag would provide a cleaner separation for future implementations.
