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.

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!).
