This is in part an artifact of LaTeX defaults not having as many
document heading levels and trying to take advantage of the behavior of
existing levels rather than customising further.

Look for a solution, possibly overriding the default font sizes for each.

The current settings were chosen because, there are not enough levels
and I find too many different font sizes disconcerting, especially
running sisu over a wide variety of document types.

The following levels are available in LaTeX

\part
\chapter
\section
\subsection
\subsubsection

The levels in sisu are

A [title]
B [part]
C [subpart]
D [subsubpart]
1 [segment (chapter)]
2 [subsegment]
3 [subsubsegment]

sisu current mapping:

level A        [title]
level B C D    \part
               (it is up to the user to make part levels visually
               distinguishable e.g. Book Part Section)
[skipped       \chapter]
[skipped       \section]
level 1        \subsection
level 2        \subsubsection
level 3        \subsubsection

The reason for skipping section was the default configuration and
resulting fact that it made for a table of contents that takes more
space

sisu new mapping:

level A        [title]
level B C D    \part
               (it is up to the user to make part levels visually
               distinguishable e.g. Book Part Section)
[skipped       \chapter]
level 1        \section
level 2        \subsection
level 3        \subsubsection

levels B C & D are the same size,
  it is up to the user to make part levels visually distinguishable e.g.
  Book Part Section

Levels 1 2 & 3 are now distinguished
Fixed (#744386) sisu syntax: 1~ and 2~ result in the same formatting
(under consideration & yet to be done #744383) sisu syntax: :B and :C
result in the same formatting

Version: 5.3.5-1 (sisu v6) will contain this partial fix & other fixes
described in response to bug reports (5.3.5::6.0.5)
(see note in bug #744378 on current Debian upload blocker)

Thanks,
Ralph
