RE: More than one h1 tag

TITLE is page-related meta data; it is not part of the page content. H1 is
part of page content and clearly visible as such. When a JAWS user views the
Heading List a clear relationship can be determined between H1 and other Hn
elements. It does not provide means to determine the same connection between
title and page headings.

Kind regards
Harry
