(a) History. Precedent. Early doc processing systems use h0 and some h1 
as the biggest class; if you were brung up on a "start from zero" one, 
it's less of a headache.

(b) Safety net. If you start from div1, as sure as eggs is eggs, some 
time you will find you need a bigger grouping, so you'll be glad that 
div0 is there.

These both look pretty tenuous to me, but they're the best I can think 
of. Any others?
