We could probably argue this back and forward, but I feel very strongly that
there should be only one <h1> on a page and it should be the page title. I
used to think it should be the site name but am moving away from that stance
now.
To use your example of 2 company founders - there would always need to be a
title above both founders:
<div id="content">
<h1>Company founders</h1>
<h2>Joe Blog</h2>
<p>Blurb about Joe...</p>
<h3>Joe's career highs</h3>
<p>Career blurb...</p>
<h2>Jane doe</h2>
<p>Blurb about Jane...</p>
<h3>Jane's career highs</h3>
<p>Career blurb...</p>
</div>
<div id="nav">
<h2>site sections</h2>
<ul>
<li>section 1</li>
Etc...
This has more meaning as the page TOPIC is introduced, then the sections are
introduced. I would find it a little odd to jump straight into a series of
founders without knowing that the page was ABOUT founders.
As said on the list before, semantically correct markup can be argued about
from many angles.
