RE: Always use h1-h6 by level again

I don't want this to sound like I'm trying to shut down this thread (I'm not), but this sounds like a great idea to put through the WICG incubation process. Especially since you've already got some momentum here on this thread. I suggest one of you write-up the proposal and get it started! All the right folks should be in that community (including browser folks) to help gather the support necessary to get some trial implementations.

Which is why I suggested that we may not get the support from browsers, although, again, I think it's worth having the discussion. There is some value in the idea, and I for one would be curious to hear from browsers "why not"? Is there a legitimate reason why browsers haven't taken this up, outside of "we didn't think of it first"?
