If semantics and SEO are paramount, and typography is too, could you make an
H2 which is the same size etc for the 'other' uses of H1? That way, your
structure/appearance would be intact, and the SEO considerations satisfied??
Is that undesirable for any reason?

Thanks for your responses...
Why use more than one H1? Simple...2 areas of the page that are of equal
importance.
Why should it only be one? I understand the simplicity of focusing on one
area of each page and the impact that could have in search results....but
that that doesn't entirely relate to semantic structure. Is it not entirely
plausible/acceptable to have 2 equally important area of the page?
I feel the logo is very important. It is, in theory, the first thing people
notice on a site and the single most important bit of branding.
I understand also that a H1 is important to search engines indexing....but
I'm yet to see/read/hear of any solid information that suggests Google (in
particular) degrade the rank of your site based on the existence of more
than one H1.
