In my world, many browsers either do not support CSS, support it
incorrectly, or have that support turned off. I also do not have
resources or desire to generate different HTML for different browsers;
nor that approach works reliably. For these reasons, I have to ignore
virtually any "use CSS instead" advice.

My counter-advice would be: 

	Often, webmasters have to use <h2> for first-level titles.
	When processing HTML documents, do not assume that the first
	heading level is <h1>.
