Widget titles should be <h2>, not <h1>?

It doesn't seem right to have h1 elements for every widget in the sidebar. I've always agreed with the position that there should generally only be one h1 per page.

Thoughts?

I'll let others chime in on this as well, but as far as I know having multiple H1's on an HTML5 page is absolutely acceptable, as each element on a page can have its own H1. An H1 that is nested within header or article will be more important than an H1 that is nested within an aside, and all the widgets in _s are wrapped in asides.

For more information, see the following URL: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#headings-and-sections

Sections may contain headings of any rank, but authors are strongly encouraged to either use only h1 elements, or to use elements of the appropriate rank for the section's nesting level.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the clarification and the link.

Maybe my thought process on that is a little outdated...old habits are hard to break.
