Just to make sure everyone sees it:

I flubbed the code on my mock up, and in my explanation to aardvark.

<h3> *is* the correct designation for the month, because the <h2> was 
supposed to be the year. I just forgot to put it in, then forgot my 
reasoning when I was explaining it in my response to to aard.

Well of course. People do it all the time.

Not if we're going to set a good example. We need to maintain the 
document's hierarchy.

Using evolt.org as a good example of why it's a Good Thing (TM). :)

If you find yourself wanting to skip from <h1> to <h3>, then you need 

to examine your writing. There's probably an <h2> that should be put 

between the two, even if it's just one sentence, or in the case of what

I'm doing on the mock up, just the header itself.

Alternatively, your orphaned <h3> section could be moved up in the 

hierarchy.

Of course, that's a very strict interpretation, both in terms of writing

and layout, but since HTML was intended to mark up written documentation, 

I stand by that interpretation. YOMV (your opinion may vary).
