Really?  Given:

  <h>This is a header</h>
  This is some text after the header.

The "unstyled" rendering you would see is:

  This is a headerThis is some text after the header.

If the <h> is followed by a block you're better off, of course, but the common case from what I've seen is to just have something like the above.

As said above, I think it increases backwards compatibility by omitting
all styles. But it depends on the case whether it's better to have only
big titles or only unstyled titles.

The latter wouldn't look like titles at all, right?

I easily think that using h1 everywhere isn't semantically correct.
Especially if the subsections (with their h1s) cannot be redistributed
solely it does not make any sense.

I'm not sure I follow.

But maybe you are right. The html5 spec is already blown up with stuff
nobody will ever use (keygen?) enough.

Amusingly enough, keygen is something I use once a year or so (when my user certificate expires), and something that MIT students need to use to, say, register for classes (or view their grades, deal with bursar's office stuff online, etc, etc). See https://ca.mit.edu/ca/certgen (though that will likely require a login... that you may not have). See http://ist.mit.edu/services/certificates for the various documentation.
