> 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").

I just find it hard to read the respective specifications in any other way.

I will, of course, grant the desirability of an "importance" concept, but if that's what Headings are for then how can they *also* fill a "structure" role? It seems like an impossible burden.
