Most of my work has been with the US Government, and the agencies I worked
wanted to look like the others.

So, that is how I have recently done things.

The Government Publications Office (GPO) set most of the standards, for some
organizations, and Yes, "decimal" headings were required.

"When you only have a hammer, everything is a nail."

I did not mean to say that I liked it, it was just easier to please about
400 people with a 'standard' for their documentation.

BTW, I would not want to try to attempt to promote any 'publication design'
ideas with the 'entrenched' people I had to work with. Some can't even agree
on when to use - will, would, should, shall, may, can, and the like.

Especially working in the DC area.
