I approve of negative margins for headings like the 12th edition Chicago
Manual of Style uses. But I was able to create the effect with headings set
to say 5% and the paragrah margins set to say 15%. I think traditionally
they are considered negative indention.
I hope the use for layering will not cause problems.This use seems to belong
more to the realm of frames and page layout.
