I think in general, you could achieve your aims (including IE6 compatibility) with something like the following, right?

.focusBlock header { /* stying for first level of header in the focus block */  }
.focusBlock header header { /* reset any styles you don't want in subsequent header descendants  */  }

It's not especially elegant, but gets the job done, I think.
