There's no daily news. There are just parallel news, of equal importance.
There's no essential reason why they should be presented in chronological
sequence, for instance.

><h1>Joe Smith's Web Log</h1>
><h2>Tuesday</h2>
>[snip]
><h2>Monday</h2>
>[snip]

Sure. But how about...

<section>
<h>Joe Smith's blog chronologically</h>
[whathaveyou]
</section>
<section>
<h>Joe Smiths's blog by subject</h>
[whathaveyou]
</section>

...or its XHTML1 counterpart?

>IMHO, using more than one <h1/> element on a page is plain sloppy.

How about...

<h1>The case against libertarianism</h1>
<div>[whathaveyou][/div]
<h1>The case for libertarianism</h1>
<div>[whathaveyou]</div>

? There's no common topic (the document isn't about libertarianism per se,
or cases for or against it, but about a bivalent opinion about the thing;
at best, some futuristic display agent might show the thing as two
parallel columns without a common unifying topic, respecting the notion
that people can have more than one viewpoint on a single phenomenon).
