I must agree that the giant A is completely non-intuitive as a level 3 
heading icon.

What about the obvious "h1", "h2", and "h3"? Even non- HTMLers are familiar 
with "heading level 1" from packages like Word. Not sure how well this 
translates though.

For those determined not to see any HTML sullying their pages, how about 
"!", "!!", and "!!!"? Not sure how to accommodate the Cookbook recipe that 
reverses the weights.
