Minhead is a plugin that will renumber such headings to be below your
specified minimum:

http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/filters/minhead.py

Alternately, if you start with this plugin:

http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/filters/h1title.xslt

And remove the first template (the one that matches on atom:title),
you will be left with a filter that removes h1 tags.  The template
that matches on h1 (and effectively replaces it with nothing) can be
repeated for each element that you wish to remove.

A description of how you can make use of plugins can be found here:
