Tony, while i can see your point, i dont agree. Nothing against your views
but its
the way you put a few things.

A search engine will not just search the by the H1, actually no-one actually
knows
how a search engine works, its a secret to the creator, but what we do know
is that
they make use of all H* elements not just H1.

The part that struck me is where you said:

'for a while I put all the branding and footer information at the end of
the source and then visually displayed it at the head.'

What about people with devices and browser with css either not supported or
off?

Source Order is very important.

Views are views, and a great debate consists of a difference of views. : )

no, I'm saying what the page is about is the most important, so put that
in the h1

take a multiple page site with branding on every page - after the first
page you're more interested in what the page is about than which company
it is.

if you're looking for widgets for your foobar then you want to find
foobar widget pages, not a specific company...

for a while I put all the branding and footer information at the end of
the source and then visually displayed it at the head.

SEO and semantics are tricky areas, I doubt we'd ever reach consensus,
but my view of the web is as a collection of connected pages, rather
than web sites as books with pages as chapters. (and it's how the search
engines see the web too, in the most part)

on that basis the page content is the most important and therefore the
semantic structure should follow content, not the "book cover".

my 2p.
