Question: are the level-1 headlines always visible, all of them I mean?
I know that's the case as of now, but wondered if it'd be good to hide
the ones which are not significant. Not a very sharp advice on this,
though.

My /personal/ preference is to see the ancestors, so that I can know
which path lead to the entry, and avoid confusion in case some "sub sub
sections" are repeated in many different "sub sections".
With your proposal, I then only have the choice between `lineage',
`full' and `canonical', while I'd like something which would give me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* H1
* H2
** Sub 2
*** Sub sub 2
Text
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
WDYT?
Best regards,
Seb
