I would rather suggest you to use CSS to handle this little layout
problem in your generated HTML. This is CSS purpose to just do that.

For example in a file called style.css
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
body {
    margin: 1.1em 2em 5em 2em;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    /* Augmenting the space on top of headers */
    /* of an amount of 1/2 the orginal margin. */
    margin-top: 1.5em;
}


.sect1, .sect2 {
    /* Augmenting the space on top of headers */
    /* of an amount of 1/2 the orginal margin. */
    margin-top: 2em;
}

.question {
    font-weight: bold;
}

.answer {
    margin-left: 2em;
    margin-bottom: 3em;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And (if you use DSSSL) insert the following in your DSSSL stylesheet :

<xsl:param name="html.stylesheet">style.css</xsl:param>


or (if you use XSL) that in your XSL stylesheet :

(define %stylesheet%
    "style.css")
