Re: page should contain no more than two h1 elements

I never use more than one h1.

The h1 tag is supposed to be the most important tag on the page, and it
should describe what the rest of the content is about. In most cases, this
is the page title, like "Contact Information"

Then under that h1 you might have additional sub-headings like "E-Mail
Directory", or "Customer Service".

I can't think of any situation that would require more than one h1.
