 > > 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.

 Twenty Ten uses HTML5 doctype, Twenty Eleven is HTML5. There is no point
 going back with an old markup at all.
