Well, it's this statement (and the WAI guidelines) that has me confused:
"A strict reading of WAI guidelines is that heading styles must be used in
strict sequence ie. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5."

Others have told me that once I move to H3, I should not be moving back up
to H2 again... Obviously, you guys don't agree and my information/criticism
is flawed. ;)
