Re: Only one h1 per page?

One reference point to consider: WebAIM’s recent screen teaser survey has some information about user preferences. “Improper headings” ranks as one of the most common frustrations, though I don’t think they define what “improper” means. https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey7/

I take that to be suggesting that heading nesting is a substantial enough usability issue that it warrants treating as a bug. WCAG conformance strikes me as a moot issue, practically speaking.

You don't have to worry about the order of the rest of the headings if you add a <section> or <article>. In other words, you can start by h1 again in an <article>, for example. I wonder if assistive technology is ready for it.
