Banner landmark and main headings

I'm trying to understand exactly what goes within the "banner" landmark.
The Paciello Group blog states that "Site-oriented content typically
includes things such as the logo, the main heading for the page..."

I don't consider the "main heading for the page" to be site-specific;
rather, it would be page-specific. For example, on the web-based
application that I design, the main heading for a page might be something
like "Customer List."

In that instance, would the heading belong within the "banner" landmark
anyway or somewhere else?

I am wondering if the Paciello Group blog's reference to "main heading" is
talking about sites that have several levels of content and use the name of
the site section as the main heading.

Thanks!
