Comment:

 Discussion amongst johnbillion, Rian and myself at WordCamp London.

 We could replace the `h2` with the `h1` but that would require bumping
 `h3` to `h2`, `h4` to `h3` and `h5` to `h4`, so no levels were missed out.

 However, plugins and themes may also already be using `h2` on their
 settings screens, so the updated levels would need classes, and those
 classes used (as they should be anyway) to visually style as to what they
 are now. i.e.

 {{{
 .wrap > h1,
 .wrap > .admin-h1, /* new h1 */
 .wrap h2 {
  /* Existing .wrap h2 styles */
 }

 .wrap > .admin-h2, /* new h2 */
 .wrap h3 {
  /* Existing h3 styles */
 }
  etc.
 }}}

 As an aside, the `h5` of the "Show on Screen" Screen Options heading would
 also need appropriate class for styling.

 The patch would be massive (change all the admin headings, plus CSS), so
 would need to committed as soon as it was ready to avoid it going stale.
