Aye, by itself the weight difference is by no means a major issue. The
underline and margins on the h2 do effectively indicate that it's supposed to
be more important, but even so, the h3s are... strange. Due to the bolding and
font differences effective weight of the h3s is significantly higher than the
h2s, and why? It looks strange, and there's really no good reason for this.

So why not make it better? That's all this is about.


For a bit of history, this issue has actually been present in monobook since
its release, with vector merely inheriting the header styles from that. The
typography refresh may have made it stand out more (especially on some
platforms) due to the different fonts, however: serif fonts tend to be a lot
lighter in general than sans-serif, which is also part of why they've
historically been regarded as so bad for screen use, and the different fonts in
the serif stack also have quite a bit of variation in their own sizes, which
can make the effect even more pronounced depending on which gets used.

But that just means the serif stack should be applied to all the headers so it
doesn't matter, that's all. Beyond that the fix is still pretty much exactly
the same here as it would be for monobook.
