Which default stylesheet are you referring to?

Yes, or some other distinction. Personally size differentiation is not 
appealing most of the time. It's good for clear differences like chapter 
headings, and section headings. But for sub-sections and clauses other 
size stable methods are better because they are much easier to notice 
from the rest of the text. For example for four levels of heading 
<http://beta.boost.org/development/exemplar.html>, with only two size 
changes. More than four levels are really rare, and very hard on readers 
to follow.
