Oh, well. Based on Duff's response, I guess the idea of "important"
for the h1 isn't viable/has been corrected in HTML5 (though I wold argue that sometimes, it does make sense to frame the issue this way in everyday discussions, outside of "theoryland").
But I stand by my general ideas; just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

<H1> is not about winning a popularity contest. It was defined as "importance" in HTML 4, but that was a flat-out error (from the accessibility point of view), one that's explicitly corrected in HTML 5.
