This does not say that there should be only one h1 and nothing is said 
about a main title. On the contrary, h1-h6 seem to be used for any kind 
of SUBdivision (my emphasis on SUB). 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-H1 says mostly the 
same.

Of course html has a long history of compromises. xhtml 2 should be more 
logical.
