Re: html sectioning elements

So as you can see in the test page link I posted, the vendor only made use of only one <section> element. At first I was thinking there should be multiple ones for the different content blocks on the page. But then in reading that the <section> tag groups thematically grouped content, I think it will work for us because all the different content blocks on our pages are thematically grouped . Am I on track as long as I get that h1 heading within the <section> element?
Also, I think it may be more scalable/practicle for us because this html will be used to build templates in a CMS and it may not be practicable to code every new content feature as a <section> but they still should all be of the same general theme.
