can anyone explain why branding should be included in the page heading hierarchy?
Its a matter of convention. When we write documents, we always put the "big heading" up top and go down from there. Its simple habit. Of course the branding shouldn't be an <h1>.

The opposite is true when making a document on company letterhead. When we do that, we're not stopping to put the company name in big bold letters at the beginning of our document, we're letting the "header" and "footer" take care of that information.

With that notion out in the open, it becomes clear what should truly be a heading. In the past, I've set the company name or logo in an <h2>, reserving the <h1> for the actual page heading. Considering the thinking going on here, this conversation says that I should probably markup pages like:

<div id="header">
  <vcard content="for company name & branding" />
  <other header info />
</div>

<div id="content">
  <h1>My big page Heading</h1>
  <content />
</div>

Seems pretty straight forward. If the logo needs to be an image, we can make a vcard entry for that. CSS will handle how it looks size-wise etc....

Thoughts?
