 > So. h1 should be used as the primary heading for all sectioning content
 (the page itself, section, article) with the exception of navigation and
 widgets (nav, aside) which will use h2. This is semantically OK, should be
 OK for SEO, and should be OK for accessibility since it reduces the
 importance of menus and widgets in a screen reader.

 While quite a bit better, the strict accessibility consultants among us
 will object. The  Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
 (W3C)[http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G141] advise strict outlining, and
 many accessibility consultants agree that the ONLY one H1 should be the
 page title. All else, articles, sections, etc. should be H2 or lower. That
 would leave H3 or H4 for nav and widgets.
