Headings

Hi there

I'm just wondering about people's views on headings in pages. Most
content pages (as in not the home page) on the Web tend to have
basically two headings - a logo and a page title. These are often in
different location

The question is this: in a situation like this, what element should be
the <h1>?

It seems to me there are basically three options to this...

1) The logo is a <h1>, title is a <h2>
2) Logo isn't a heading at all, title is <h1>
3) Both heading AND title are <h1> (two <h1>s in the same document?)

...so which do you believe is best, and why?

I don't believe there is a "correct" answer to this as such, and I
really don't think this is a major issue that needs to be discussed
endlessly, but I would be interested in people's opinions.


Cheers
