Just for the record, I remember there was some exotic wiki engine with a pretty neat solution for the //adding a heading above or below problem//. Both with the approach we use, and the reversed one, it's hard to add headings -- on lower or higher level.
The syntax was very similar to that of structured text -- it used headings of different levels underlined with various punctuation characters, like "{{{-+*@#%~^:}}}". The point is, there was no static mapping between the heading level and the character used. The first heading was automatically made into {{{<h1>}}}, and then all the headings underlined with the same character were also rendered as {{{<h1>}}}. The next //differing// heading was made into {{{<h2>}}} and so on. Then, if you wanted to add a heading of higher/lower level than used already, you just used a new underlining character.
Apart from this smart advantage, this approach has also severe disadvantages. Two texts coudn't be easily merged together without getting through them and standarizing the heading markup. You coudn't tell what level of heading you're looking at without scrolling the textarea to the beginning and looking through all the source.
That's why I don't recommend it for Creole. But the solution is still an interesting one. I tested something similar for bullet lists and it worked pretty nice.

Its interesting that XHTML 2.0 has the {{{ <section> }}} and {{{ <h> }}} elements which solves this problem neatly. Just unfortunate it was added too late.

You can always approximate it with the wiki script and apropriate {{{<div>}}} and {{{<span>}}} elements. For example, when writing HTML I like to write:
{{{
<div class="section">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>The text of the section...</p>
...
</div>
}}}
Remember, that your script can "guess" what level of headings to use very easily -- provided you have beginning and ending tags for the sections, like in XML. Unfortunately, Creole only has markup for the beginning of section, and the ending has to be computed based on the level of heading used. But it seems more human-friendly.

Yes, could use the list style logic for headers. Still would have to fix up h//n// elements thou.
