i don't buy that... why does it *have* to be indented? i've certainly
seen cases where headers are indented in print... it's nothing new,
and i don't think it will confuse people... and indenting the entire
paragraph brings all sorts of other unnecessary baggage with it...

only if we indent, and i think that's a very good reason why we
wouldn't indent the paragraph...
