Yeah, it *is* unforgiving of a messy hierarchy. It's a lot more work
to try to account for "missing" levels of hierarchy, I didn't want

on the recipe about that.

in my sidebar.

I see. I'll have to look into seeing if I can limit the "look for
headers" to the #wikitext div (which is the same no matter what the skin
is, yes?)
