Yes, Tim, I understand that, and in fact, I am currently addressing the h2.
The reason why I was trying to do it the other way is because the context is
for EPUB formatting, and space above the h2 causes it to fall lower on the page
if the h2 is at the top of a page. By addressing the p prior to the h2, I could
adjust the margin-bottom of that, rather than the margin-top of the h2.
