On a structured document, I'd think long and hard about using
subsections without parent sections. That's just not right. It
misrepresents the document's structure, and confuses appearance with
structure.

If you want to call attention, make a new environment called
"callattention" and use that.

The prior two paragraphs don't really say exactly what you're doing. Do
you mean the line is under the text below the (wrongly used)
subsection, or something else?

Use/create environments and character styles that truly represent their
meaning -- don't use environments made for other purposes just because
they happen to look pretty good in the situation.
