I'm sorry I mixed between setext and atx :)

I wasn't talking about numbering headings but creating headings :)

That's a good question and also why ox.md works in this way.

I probably didn't explain it properly and it is because I'm used to
write #+title header in org-mode. #+title it is exported to html as h1
what is great.

I think that's a common header when you write org-mode, isn't it?

So I guess if orgmode to html exports title-orgmode as h1-html, I think
it could be exported also to md because it alrealdy exists.

The exporter then could look for both title options:
1. the org-mode header and if there is a #+title, it could be h1 and the
others org-mode headings (* ** ***, etc) md headings (## ### ###). 
2. or {{{title}}

If none of them are included, it should keep the behaviour it already
has. If not, it could translate it to markdown heading1

If you think this is an uncommon use of org-mode, then I should use you
suggestion or make something different ;)

Best!
