On: Do we need a new heading element in HTML?

I would be careful with that approach. I've followed it for a couple of years, but noticed that browser vendors and other tools have not embraced this change.

While it's technically still correct, it might backfire in reality. So maybe this <h>-element would be a welcome addition to the spec.

It looks like that method is now deprecated in HTML 5.1. https://bitsofco.de/document-outlines-in-html-5-1/

Let's not ad something to the spec because vendors don't implement the spec correctly. That makes no sense.

What makes you think they will implement the new one correctly ?

Plus they are wrong in the first place.

That might be a problem, but looking for better tools or waiting for them to adopt the standard seems an easier solution than inventing another standard.
