I fumbled with this for a while Chris but decided against it on the grounds that <h1> denotes the most important content on the page; the site ownerthe logo may think that his or her logo is the most important element on the page, I doubt any site users would agree.
I know we have to be pragmatic at times (clients pay wages etc) but I think the semantic argument should win this one. In most cases my h1s' contain much the same content as the page titles, bringing the added benefit that robots seem to like this approach; a point I make to clients if they ask when I explain how the semantic design can help them avoid SEO costs.

I just wanted to get an idea of how many people actually do this compared to using a html image tag? I believe a <h1> is more semantically correct however I'd be interested in seeing what other people on this list think.
