Consider

&lt;section&gt; &lt;!-- first --&gt;
   &lt;section&gt;&lt;/section&gt; &lt;!-- second --&gt;
   &lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;

, at the time when the algorithm walk in &lt;h1&gt;, the current section is the first &lt;section&gt; but now it gets an implied heading because of the second &lt;second&gt;, prose like

  # Otherwise, if the element being entered has a rank equal to or greater
  # than the heading of the last section of the outline of the current outlinee

is no longer well defined. Also, the second section never gets an implied heading. 

If you intend to leave this behavior undefined at the moment, I think you should just say so.
