 The HTML code in example for the theme is [http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ XHTML 1.0 Strict compilant]. The choice gives a user solid standard support accross modern browsers.
-The code is intended to behave as similar and forward-compatibile with [http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ HTML5] as possible and in result is reducing traditional styling markup of several elements (like <HX/>).
+The code is intended to behave as similar and forward-compatibile with [http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ HTML5] as possible and in result is reducing traditional styling markup of several elements (like <H(1|2|3|4|5|6)/>).
+Several rules:
+* Do not use <Hx/> elements for headers. Use corresponding classes instead (.h1, .h2). The reason for this is that Hx elements are used for balanced SEO and not for styling. The biggest font-size in your website is not always the real title of the page.
+* Use HTML5 class equivalents when possible. Classes like .aside, .nav, .section, .article, .footer and .header should be used where possible.
 Overall, the HTML code in example is intended to be a solid example of semantic HTML that should support web accessibility, be readable in text browsers like links or lynx, and work perfectly with modern web browsers with minimum code size.
