If you don't use a 2.1, then you use 2.1 for 2.1.1 info and 2.2 for 2.1.2
info. (Clear as mud, right?) This system works just like an outline. If you
don't have a 2, you shouldn't have an 1. What would be the point? If you
can't logically separate the info under heading 2.0 into two or more things,
you just keep everything under the 2.0 heading. That means no 2.1, 2.2, etc.
