This is not so easy since they are there for a good reason. This is
that without these headers we can not be sure if a file is a zim file
and in what format it is. Without these headers we can not guarantee
forward compatibility when the format changes.

Of course everything is possible when there is a good reason, but it
requires some good thinking to make a good design without these
headers.

This is easier, you can change it by modifying the reading and writing
of the wiki format. THis is all in the file zim/formats/wiki.py.
Search for the parameter 'level' being used for headings and change
the logic to calculate the number of "=" signs.
