Remember the size is a consequence but it means it's a header of a subsection of an h3 which is then a header of a subsection of an h2. It could throw off the emphasis used in some screen readers or screw with a reading layout.

It's honestly probably not a big deal but it is an improper use of syntax and could mess with accessibility software in undesirable ways.

It's a big deal if you care about the semantic structure of a document.

Well true I just meant in a functioning and even accessibility context; it'll probably still work well enough.

As a side note I know almost no one that cares about the semantic structure of an HTML document. It makes me sad. I miss XHTML's rigid structure.
