<h1> would have been _adequate_ for the snippet we saw, but we can't
infer the _appropriateness_ from such a small sample.
I've a couple of sites where every pages has this at the top:
<div id="header" >
<h1>Foo</h1>
<p class="date" >Thermidor, Year 0</p>
</div>
Now how do I replace that with <h1> ? Lets suppose that one page is
undated. Can I now replace that with <h1> alone ? What about the RSS
generator script I run across these pages, scanning for <div> with
id=header ? What abut the client-side JS shared by all pages, expecting
the header title to be the first <h1> child of the "header" element ?
It's a mistake to be too dogmatic about these purely style-based issues.
There's lot of valid and good-practice solutions to a site, not just one
minimal solution for one single, simple page.
