That's trying to refer to <section>s and <article>s and so forth -- within 
<header> you should feel free to use any of them, the whole <header> then 
acts like a single <h1> from a semantic standpoint.

There are a number of examples in the spec:

I'll add more later this year to clarify how <header> is used with 
<article>.
