Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-12-16 22:17:10 UTC 
This is the second part of bug 24100. Ack Marc Hoyois. 

Consider the document:

<body>
<figure></figure>
<h1>Title</h1>
</body>

The algorithm computes the outline:

1. Untitled document
2. Title

If sectioning roots are supposed to be "invisible" in the outline, then the outline should simply be

1. Title

If the latter is indeed the intended behavior, then the algorithm should not create an implied heading when entering a sectioning root.
