Indeed. Several times I tried to style the tags h1 through h6 so that they were distinguished while not getting too extreme. So I used a combination of font size, weight, underline, and color. When at last I thought I succeeded, I began to ask myself if it mattered. For what reader could really keep track of six levels of headings in single page anyway?
Several levels of headings, along with bullet points and numbered lists, benefit the writer, while you plan your work. But they are not ideal for the reader. I think the best form for the reader is ironically the well-told yarn: a series of well-composed "sentences which then cumulate sequentially into paragraphs," as the venerable Mr. Tufte says.
