[l2h] dynamic sectioning depth?

[Gary Scavone]

OK, if I do a single change of the sectioning in my document,
everything is great, including navigation panel links, etc... But if I
try to change it twice, then I get weird behavior.  I imagine this
might have something to do with where the redefinitions occur.
