I think that you did not realise that:
\newcommand*{\subsubparamark}[1]{} % gobble heading mark
was required as well as the \...@startsection and \newlistentry code

Re: [XeTeX] Ancient Hebrew font problem
Hi Ok, I was wondering about that. In the past I've used the Ezra SIL font. I've not had occasion to work with Hebrew yet since the transition, so I'll keep all this in mind when the time comes.
