I am not very comfortable with calling @heading a "structuring command", as it does not really set the underlying structure the document, it only changes the "visual" structure of the document since it is formatted as a heading, but I think that we should reserve structuring to the other class of sectioning commands. I may also misunderstand what structure exactly means as it exists in french and may be a false friend. -- Pat
