Agreed. I think that "allow certain nodes to only have one text element
at the very beginning" is an arbitrary choice.
Inconvenient, but logically cleaner would be to allow for text either
only in leaves, or in any place of the nodes.
The latter appears more natural to me, as it would allow for connecting
words between sub sections and closing remarks at the end of a section.
Usually, one would circumvent the problem by inserting a connecting text
at the end of subsections, although this would offend the hierarchy.
