How about the following example (doesn't nicely fit the western document 
authoring style, but anyway):

	HEADING1

	This is a paragraph related to heading 1.

	This is a paragraph related to heading 1.

		HEADING 1.1

		This is a paragraph related to heading 1.1.

		This is a paragraph related to heading 1.1.

	This is a paragraph related to heading 1.

	This is a paragraph related to heading 1.

(text indented to show the logical structure)

SECTION element is able to describe structures like this, H1-H6 isn't.

I support including both SECTION and DI. But if SECTION isn't required, 
I cannot see why DI should be required.
