Level-three headers (===) are well established as the standard header on 
Wikipedia. If you hate this so much, better to simply redefine it to 
pump out ideologically correct <H2> tags instead of <H3> rather than to 
prescribe the change of thousands of pages and demand a change in markup 
behavior.
