And nobody was saying that semantic markup itself was a minor issue.
What *is* an minor issue is this particular aspect of the implementation
of the rather wooly idea of what "proper" semantic markup of the
document structure is, i.e. whether the H1 should be the site title or
not (taking for granted that all levels below that properly reflect the
structure of the rest of the document in a logical and semantic
fashion). And "minor issue" insofar as if an author marks up a site name
as H1 this won't automatically create insurmountable, completely
structure-perverting problems to users.
