+1000 We have elements with rich meaning. We should really use them. We should really be concerned not just with the visual but with the semantic (lowercase s) meaning of the elements. This influences usability, accessibility, processing, and ultimately long-term effectiveness of the model.

Then we discovered that from a CSS performance point of view, styling that was painful and slow. We also discovered that querying headers of level 4 from script was considerably more painful than just querying h4... We also discovered that copying and pasting had new issues in particular in Wysiwyg environments. This whole discussion about plusses and minusses of h1-h6 vs. h is in the W3C archive and a few blog posts from 2002 and 2003... Yes, that old. </Daniel>
