I'm on the fence right now about headers.
I've seen use of h2's without a header wrapper in a section. This gives screen
readers structure, but it breaks the HTML5 outline methodology.
Shouldn't you change it to an h1 when it goes in a header.
The outline is dependent on the sectioning content[1] (article, aside,
nav, section) - you don't need to wrap an <h*> element in a <header> for
that.
The <header> is only really needed if you're going to have content that
isn't a <h*> element but is still part of the section/article header
(eg. author byline, publish date etc.). Wrapping a single <h*> element
in a <header> is technically correct but unnecessary IMO - might be
useful if you wanted to attach style rules to it.
