High speed is only necessary while using a book. When a reader needs some seconds to charge his internal cache files: no problem - in my rating.

We are talking about an utopy of an epub standard.
In my utopy using H1 for the highest level is obligatory. It is not anymore a decision of the editor.
And "span class="toc1" is simply not a valid markup for a heading.
But well, I don't think there are many readers in this forum, who like to talk about "how a better epub spec could be".
That's no offense at all. But in my experience in forums in general, people prefer to talk about the reality
