 As I was going over the codes in TwentyEleven Theme, I've notice that H1
 (Headings) are used in places where H1 as the highest priority is not
 recommended to be used. From SEO Search Engine Optimization point of view
 giving i.e. (LATEST COMMENTS) priority #1 (H1) is not semantically correct
 nor Search Engine Friendly. This will most definitely confuse web crawlers
 not knowing what they need to crawl frist.

 My suggestion is to lower the priority to all sidebar titles to at least
 H4, or even eliminate any headings from this area completely. Simple
 {{{<div class="widget-title">Some Title</div>}}} will be more than enough
 and it will serve the purpose just fine.

 This will be even greater issue if user activates the widgets in footer
 area and there we don't really need an H1 titles.

 Even uglier scenario is to hide H1 under {{{<h1 class="section-
 heading">Post navigation</h1>}}} in functions.php

 Now I do understand that this is still work in progress and hopefully you
 will address this issue accordingly. Other than this great job guys I love
 how far you went with this.
