That annoying duplicate <h1> issue

I was just thinking about that annoying issue we've got, where we have duplicate <h1>s on a page: one of my personal pet peeves.

The auto generated <h1> has got a class of firstHeading (and an ID the same, for that matter). If just put

.firstHeading { display: none; } 

In common.css, surely that would get rid of our issue?

I haven't done it yet, because I thought I'd just check that it wouldn't ruin anything on the site first. It does mean that we'd need to make sure titles are manually added to all pages (via =a manual h1=, or by using the title for field in the form templates.)

Thoughts?
