I think I got it from a reference you gave<g>.

You had an email (to someone else) where you showed a site that analysed a
web page to show what a search engine would see. One of the comments from
the analysis done on that site was that there were no <h1> tags.

(This is from memory - I may have it wrong. I don't have access to your
reference at the moment).

I got the impression from that site that <h1> etc tags were important for
search engines. Do you disagree?
