Apparently WebbIE prepends "Page Headline:" to all <h1>s, so only using <h1>s like HTML5 currently recommends results in usability problems for users with WebbIE.

From my experience some web browsers such as WebbIE prefix 'Page Headline: ' to all <h1>'s which would certainly be very annoying for those with visual disabilities and using such text-based browsers with speech software listening to 'Page Headline: ' everywhere a <h1> is used. I would suggest authors either use one <h1> for the very first heading of a document and then use <h2> (as the highest ranking, not-make-a-fuss heading) for all other headings or use <h2> for absolutely all headings instead of all <h1>s.
This would be practical accessibility.
