Yes, yes, yes, I *know* that what I'm asking for doesn't really fit
the intention of the <H1>,.....<H6> hierarchy.  That's why I asked the
way I did in my original request.

OK, so *how* do I "apply a custom stylesheet to the document" given
that I don't want to have to have a custom build script for each
document that I need different sized <H1> headings for?  That, I
believe' is what this thread has now moved on to discussing.  There
seem to be two or three quite good reasons for wanting different style
sheets for documents which live in one place.  So a way to somehow
apply a particular custom style to a document from the document itself
rather than the build command[s] would be useful.
