[thelist] Coding standards.... [headers]

I don't look at heading level as a degree of importance but rather as a
summary of what is discussed following the heading. H2 is no more important
than H3 and so on, it is just that H2 covers a broader topic (not
necessarily longer either) than H3 which is more focussed.

Other than an ordered list, I don't know that HTML provides for degrees of
importance.

Recognize that my opinions are just that, opinions and I am willing to be
convinced differently: to date, this hasn't yet happened but I am pleased to
see this being discussed.
