Document Outline

The Idea is a bit older back to 1991:

I would in fact prefer, instead of <H1>, <H2> etc for headings to have a nestable <SECTION>..</SECTION> element, and a generic <H>..</H> which at any level within the sections would produce the required level of heading.

Sectioning Roots

Sectioning Elements

<body>, <blockquote>, <figure>, <details>, <fieldset>, <td>

<section>, <article>, <aside>, <nav>

An isolated part of a document having their own separate outlines

HTML5 Outline Algorithm is NOT reliable

There are currently no known native implementations of the outline algorithm in graphical browsers or assistive technology user agents, although the algorithm is implemented in other software such as conformance checkers and browser extensions. Therefore the outline algorithm cannot be relied upon to convey document structure to users. Authors should use heading rank (h1-h6) to convey document structure.
