Re: HTML heading styles

Thanks for your characteristically pithy reply Jukka! ;)

Here's a simple example of how it might be appropriate to skip heading
styles.

H1 is the page heading
H2 is a sub-heading
H3 is a sub-sub-heading
H4 reads "Related content" and precedes a list of links to related pages on
the website

It's very possible that there may not be any content suitable for inclusion
at the H3 level but there are related content links. It strikes me that it
would be stranger to suddenly move "Related content" up to H3 than to simply
skip H3.
