Whether an element is formatted as block or inline is up to the style sheet. The DTD may want to group certain elements for convenience -- they probably behave the same way in the structure. This does not, however, imply that they behave the same way in the layout. The style sheet is in charge of the layout (assuming you use a styled browser) and if it wants to change 'H1' to be inline, so be it.
