 > [38939] reduces the clarity of the heading levels. Yes starting at `2`
 is weird, but having a clear heading hierarchy is important.

 Yeah, I agree. This is a compromise. I've seen few editors that don't show
 "heading levels". One is the GitHub editor. I've never ever seen any
 editor that has a hierarchical listing that starts with 2 or any other
 number but 1.

 There are three choices:
 - Start with Heading 2. This is bad UI imho. Haven't seen anything like
 it, ever. For "people in the know" it may be acceptable but what about for
 all the other people?
 - Hack it a bit to make "Heading 1" insert `h2`. This is a bit hacky and
 slightly deceiving. The "people in the know" will probably be
 (unpleasantly) surprised to see the `h2`.
 - Don't show numbers, rely on the font size and styles. The previews in
 TinyMCE are accurate there and show the headings as styled by the theme.

 I've seen the third one used, and it seems to make most sense, but am not
 particularly attached to it.

 > This needs user testing if it's to stay in.

 Sure, all needs user testing and depends on the feedback we get after
 beta-1. I know it will be quite biased

 > In addition, the removal of the heading numbers looks like it'll only
 work for English text, due to the hard-coding of `Header` in `plugin.js`.

 No, that replacement happens before the text is translated (testes that of
 course :) ). See the above screenshot. It uses the plural "Überschriften"
 as there is no translation for the string "Header" yet.
