HTML5 adds more power to the heading elements, which is a good thing. However,
there appears to be no recommended element for marking up a site-wide banner
title.

Traditionally, many users have resorted to using h1 for the banner heading, but
this may not be in the spirit of headings which introduce sections.
Furthermore, the banner title would be expected to be the same for most, if not
all, pages, while the h1 would be expected to be different for each page.

Other available elements already have their own semantic meanings, and none of
them would imply a title.

A header might be the appropriate place to put such a title, but, since headers
are not sections, semantically they change nothing.

I would like to suggest an element which has the same logic as h1, but
specifically for banners titles. I have a preference for the tag name “title”
since a body title should be clearly distinct from a head title, but accept
that that may not be logistically reasonable. I would prefer not to call it
“banner” since that might imply a larger container.

However, anything would do for me.
