Re: [docbook-apps] Reasoning behind epub <h> level numbering
Not sure why the epub stylesheet in 1.76.1 changes 
it.  I suspect someone thought the top level heading in each HTML file 
should be an h1.  The epub3 stylesheet in the current snapshot does not do 
that.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Reasoning behind 
  epub <h> level numbering

  

I have encountered the issue of epub and web files having 
  different <h> title level numbers for the same content. It follows on 
  from Robert Nagle's posting of 15 March 2011. 

Specifically, the epub 
  stylesheets produce titles one level higher than the web stylesheets, 
  e.g.:

preface title: web (h2), epub (h1)

This is consistent 
  behaviour for the elements: preface, glossary, bibliography, index, sect1 
  through to sect5, and bridgeheads sect1 to sect5.

The epub docbook.xsl 
  has modified HTML H level numbering in both <xsl:template 
  match="d:bridgehead"> and <xsl:template name="component.title"> 
  (apparently as an SEO customisation).

Can someone elucidate why there 
  is this change in <h> numbering for the epub customisation?
