I hope that you would like this because a layout designer told you to
do it this way (not that I would necessarily believe the layout
designer: I think this looks horrid, and would look only marginally
less so if the `1.1' were under the `F' in `Foo', etc.).  Note also
that LaTeX normally numbers sections as `1', not `1.0', etc.

No.  In fact, you must not set these.  The quantity that needs to
be adjusted is called `\leftskip'.  The section depth goes in the
`secnumdepth' counter.  For clues as to how to work with the internals
of the sectioning commands, look in latex.tex for the definition
of `\@startsection' and in the style files that you are now using
for the definitions of \section, \subsection, etc.
