MD022 - Headings should be surrounded by blank lines

I’d like to configure this warning to:

• Require a preceding empty line (as it already does)
• Not requiring a following empty line

So this should be OK:

something

# Heading
more text

But this should not be OK:

something
# Heading
more text

The docs explain why you must have an empty line before the heading (kramdown), but only cites aesthetics for why you should have an empty line after the heading.

And as a lot of our markdown has no empty line after headings, and I actually like it this way, I’d like to be able to inform Markdownlint about this.

Is it possible to configure markdownlinter to force usage of 2 empty lines before headings and 1 after?

Yes, I mention that consequence here: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/doc/Rules.md#md022

Because rules are independent, I don’t see a good way to avoid this.
