tell you that explicit names are "antiquated." They make TeX or xml
source documents so much more readable! And when you have to retrace
five levels of \startsectionlevels because you want to change the
structure of your document, you will rue the day you abandoned proper
names.
When you want to change the structure of your document when using
structure levels, all that you need do is add or subtract a level of
nesting. With named levels, it is easy to create complicated documents
that jump around in level, which would be pretty messy.
on the other hand, when you look at a piece of coded document you no
longer know if you're in an important chapter or unimportant
subsubsubsubsubsubsection
so, in the end it all boils down to circumstances and usage which is why
we have several methods
What a nightmare it would be to add or subtract a named structure level
in a complicated document.
This being said, I still mostly use named structure levels myself, as
old habits are hard to change (but don't tell Hans this!).
ha, well, if i remember right this nested anonymous sectioning was added
on your request .. so it is now one of those orphaned features
anyway, i tend to replace
\chapter{foo}
by
\startchapter[title=foo]
\stopchapter
but at a much lower level keep using \subsubsection and alike
(also because then with chapters one can more conveniently set other
properties)
