Re: H1's inside A's

I see the anchor as an inline element and the header as a block element, and spanning inlines across blocks makes me cringe. However, an anchor has a very important meaning because of its function. Its loss is different than the loss of an em tag, for example. I am in the strict camp, but would overlook breaking a spec in this case.
