FWIW, I like these suggestions.

Another way of handling the above, and I've thought very little about
this, might be `title-less sections'. I'm not sure whether this is even
possible. The idea is that the section markup would indicate thematic
breaks. Sections are recursive so sub-themes could be handled. I assume
your statement "attibute...to indicate the importance" would also handle
sub-thematic content.
Conceptually, theme breaks are not paragraph level things. It seems to me
a theme comprises a block of paragraphs--just like a section.
Again, I like what you've said. Structural information is part of the
content.
