Summary: subtitle is severely broken

Initial Comment:
deeply nested sections can have 
subtitles larger than titles:

<section>
<section>
<section>
<section>
<section>
<section><title>Title</title>
<subtitle>Subtitle</subtitle>
</section>
</section>
</section>
</section>
</section>
</section>

is rendered as

<h6>Title</h6>
<h2>Subtitle</h2>

it should be

<h6>Title</h6>
<h7>Subtitle</h7>

Unable to reproduce. Please upload a test document and
your customization layer (if any). Also, please post a
description of your toolchain -- in particular, which
XSLT engine and what version of that engine.

Sam,

No, I didn't mean 

  h6 h2 { font-size: nn; }

The plus symbol indicates a sibling relationship.
Thing above would work only if h2 is a child of h6.
Which it won't never be.

But since as you point out the heads are wrapped in
div, I would think that the following should work:

  div h6 + div h2 { font-size: nn; }

But I tested it and it doesn't actually seem to work...

Anyway, I can't reproduce the output you're seeing.
Please upload a test document.

When I test, the stylsheets generate an h7 as you expect.

But actually, that's wrong too -- because h7 isn't a
valid (X)HTML element. The HTML heading hierarchy ends at h6.

So the stylesheets should instead just generate a h6
for all titles and subtitles in sections that would
otherwise end up being h7, h8, etc. I will make a
code change to have them do that.

1. you probably mean 
h6 h2 { font-size: nn; }
(no '+')

2. this does not work because the actual output
 is wrapped in <div>:

<div class="simplesect" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title">
<a id="method-gf"></a>
Generic Function 
<a href="#method-gf" 
title="Generic Function CLOS:METHOD-GENERIC-FUNCTION">
<code class="function">CLOS:METHOD-GENERIC-FUNCTION</code>
</a></h5></div>
<div><h2 class="subtitle">
<code class="code">(<a href="#method-gf" title="Generic
Function CLOS:METHOD-GENERIC-FUNCTION">
<code
class="function">CLOS:METHOD-GENERIC-FUNCTION</code></a> <em
class="replaceable"><code>method</code></em>)</code></h2></div></div>

CSS workaround:

  h6 + h2 {
    font-size: nn;
  }

  etc.

Not saying that it's a fix for the bug :-) Just a
workaround to use for now -- until somebody from the
team has tim to look into this.
