Let's imagine two pages:

example.com/foo
example.com/bar

The two pages are identical in content, and identical in markup except
for one thing: foo uses <h2>, <h3>, etc.; bar uses <h1> nested in
<section>. Someone visits each page. Practically speaking, how is her
experience with foo different from that of bar?
