However, and this might be slightly off-topic, but as of lately I've tended to lean to that it's ok to have one <code>H1</code> element for the logo and one for the actual heading/name of the current page. David,

It's a part of the default view and plays a critical part in telling the user who the author of the site is. Considering the logo, it should also be clickable in most case, with the home page as destination. <strong>Take this for example</strong>: When replacing a h1 with a logo, which is <em>very</em> common, you will probably make the h1 clickable in the same way. But since a h1 should represent the page's content and will likely change from page to page, it's not such a good idea at all. You'll get a situation where "I clicked the large 'blue widgets' link and came to the front page". Confusing and bad semantics. Not to mention SEO. It's easy to use the very same replacement techniques to alter the logo in various layouts, f.ex negative for screen and positive for print. I'm all in for using the img tag for logotypes, except maybe on the front page. http://monc.se/kitchen/27/logotype-image-replacement If we are talking about the logotype, I find it most often to be a part of the content, not design.
