 so it's hardly new information.

 Thanks for weighing in Joe. That's a good point about the `<title>`
 element. I think it makes sense to move to one `<h1>` per page here. It
 would give us an even cleaner outline and structure, good for semantics,
 assistive technology and search engines.

 If

 * home page is blog index and front page: site title is `<h1>`
 * home page is page and blog index is page: site tile is  `<p>` on home
 page and hidden  `<h1>` in  `<header>`  above post listing on blo index
 page is the title for the blog index page: `get_the_title( get_option(
 'page_for_posts' ) );`. Similar to `.page-title` markup.

 This should give us a unique `<h1>` on every page.

 Am I missing any use cases with the combination of `is_home()` and
 `is_front_page()`?
