I've re-read what they say about it and the reason is simply to forbid skipping levels which we agree about. In our case we haven't skipped any level so I believe we are fine. We could also imagine a document with 2 columns and each column having a H1 title. Thus I believe there are cases when it's valid. In addition they say: - "It is advisable not to skip any levels in the heading hierarchy..." - "From a practical point of view, the decision was taken for this manual to discourage skipping levels, but not forbid it outright." So my readind is that we can keep our H1 as they are and still be compliant. Marius and others, could you review the guidelines at http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/guidelines/ and let us know which rules you agree with and which you don't?
