Re: Multiple H1 tags in an HTML5 web page

I understand, but the numbers pointing to the use of a single H1 on a page as less desirable then having multiple H1's. The idea that a single H1 on a page is correct has changed with HTML5. And as you said, not all pages would need to do this and I get that, but a FAQ or Blog page would benefit from its use.

So adding them per the HTML5 spec seems to me the way to go, if it makes sense to do so.

Another survey with HTML5 markup and multiple H1's in sections would be interesting to read ...
