The only recent spec activity on this is a headinglevelstart attribute which can be set to a number. I proposed an 'auto' value for this, but it was dismissed for the initial feature (but may happen later) https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5033#issuecomment-1733292070
@jaffathecake this is all just retcons. Hixie didn't do any serious research before he invented a grand new plan for HTML, and the attempts to fit new meaning back into old skins has gone as poorly as (some of us) expected.
The better way forward is to just invent elements that fucking do things by default, not by subterfuge or through a11y side-doors.
