Brian, keep it up dude; good conversation.

Everything ok??

Beautiful out here. Warm, sunny, fresh air. I'm learning a few things about where we're heading in the near future. It's bright, amigo.

STOP!

There is an outline algorithm described in HTML5 that would allow the use of H1 tags as described in the article, but it has not actually been implemented. The current HTML 5.1 spec says 'There are currently no known native implementations of the outline algorithm in graphical browsers or assistive technology user agents, although the algorithm is implemented in other software such as conformance checkers and browser extensions. Therefore the outline algorithm cannot be relied upon to convey document structure to users. Authors should use heading rank (h1-h6) to convey document structure.-
