Re: H1

I would say that an <h1> element, or (if using something other than HTML)
the top-level heading, should only appear once. Even if the document
contains two or more completely separate segments of content, there must be
some unifying reason for the segments to appear together. If this is not the
case, the segments should appear in different documents. If in the same
document, the <h1> element should be identical or similar to the contents of
the <title> element, I would think, with <h2> elements being used to
separate the segments.

Of course there is no way to enforce such rules, but if you are writing a
tutorial I would certainly recommend you encourage the student to use this
method.
