HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Won't fix, this might give more weight to create the 'h' element as has been discussed for providing more levels for headings.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
