And no arguing is permitted (unless it comes from Polish

I think with an automatic conversion this would
not be an important problem.
This would be a problem as people got used to that notation.
As far as I know it was only ever removed by oversight. I have no
objection to putting it back, and will do so if no one else either does

HTML headers do not impose any kind of hierarchical structure. (If they
did, you'd have to put all following text and subheadings _inside_ the
open/close tag pair, probably looking something like the list tags.) Our
==headers== are simple aliases to the HTML headers, and should not be
burdened by overcomplex hierarchy rules, magical collapsing tables of
contents (if you need a table of contents, your article is too long), or
magical detectors that chew out the user for not insufficiently
(s)lavishly constructing their markup.
