Let's look at what the specification says;

"A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces.
Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a
table of contents for a document automatically.

There are six levels of headings in HTML with
H1<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-H1> as
the most important and
H6<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-H6> as
the least. Visual browsers usually render more important headings in larger
fonts than less important ones."

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5

Nowhere does it say that H1s are for page titles or that there can be only 1
per page. In fact, the example shows two being used.
