This heading shouldn't be within the document's main tree of headings.
It should be completely taken out, that's what "aside" means. But it
can't be done in a backwards compatible way.

Hum, that's true; it seems to be a general issue with asides, not
limited to figures. Using aside to indicate a sidebar on a page
shouldn't be much of a problem because the sidebar is usually outside of
the main content and can have the same heading level as the main
content. But aside content inserted in the middle of the text is already problematic from the semantic standpoint in HTML 4, and become a problem
to any outliner if it contains headers.

Maybe there could be a <h> element. This way you can use <h1>, <h2>,
etc. for the main content and <h> for any content outside the main
outline of the document, like asides. Its use wouldn't be mandatory,
just like you don't have to use the "right" heading number anymore, but
recommended for aside backward compatibility with outliners. It could
also be used in the main content for the 7th heading level and beyond.

I don't understand the problem being described here.

The idea was to add <h> for use inside <aside> so you can remove the header from the main flow for old outliners not supporting the HTML5 outline algorithm. I don't think it has a very strong use-case; I was simply pointing it as a solution to the backward compatibility problem Alexey mentioned.
