For those that have a different "default front page" set under '/admin/settings/site-information' ...

e.g. i create the first page/node with a title 'home' and same thing with alias 'home' and under 'default front page' i use
home
instead of
node

you'll probably want to do this to make SEO sense...

note the '!$is_front'

header:

          <?php if ($linked_site_logo or $linked_site_name): ?>
            <?php if ($title && !$is_front): ?> /* if a title is set and is NOT front/home page */
              <div class="logo-site-name"><strong>
                <?php if ($linked_site_logo): ?><span id="logo"><?php print $linked_site_logo; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
                <?php if ($linked_site_name): ?><span id="site-name"><?php print $linked_site_name; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
              </strong></div>           
            <?php else: /* Use this on front/home ... */ ?>     
              <h1 class="logo-site-name">
                <?php if ($linked_site_logo): ?><span id="logo"><?php print $linked_site_logo; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
                <?php if ($linked_site_name): ?><span id="site-name"><?php print $linked_site_name; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
             </h1>
            <?php endif; ?>
          <?php endif; ?>

content:

          <?php if ($title or $tabs): ?>
            <div id="main-content-header">
              <?php if ($title && !$is_front): ?><h1 id="page-title"><?php print $title; ?></h1><?php endif; ?> /* don't print the page title on home/front /*
              <?php if ($tabs): ?>
                <div class="local-tasks"><?php print $tabs; ?></div>
              <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
          <?php endif; ?>

we don't want to print the h1 in content on the front/home page, we want the h1 to be in the header only for front/home...

e.g. you don't want this printing on home/front:

<div id="header">
<div class="logo-site-name"><strong>SITE NAME</strong></div>
</div><!-- /#header -->
<div id="content">
<h1 id="page-title">home</h1>
</div><!-- /#content -->

you want it to print like this on the home/front:

<div id="header">
<h1><strong>SITE NAME</strong></h1>
</div><!-- /#header -->
<div id="content">
/* content goes here , without h1 /*
</div><!-- /#content -->

I didn't properly format the comment under 'content' code... this is the proper:

          <?php if ($title or $tabs): ?>
            <div id="main-content-header">
              <?php if ($title && !$is_front): ?><h1 id="page-title"><?php print $title; ?></h1><?php endif;  /* don't print the page title on front */ ?>
              <?php if ($tabs): ?>
                <div class="local-tasks"><?php print $tabs; ?></div>
              <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
          <?php endif; ?>

Title: proper h1 formatting used on <front> when not using "node" in "default front page" » h1 formatting for <front> when not using "node" in "default front page"

I think it comes down to what is the expected result from the site builders perspective. For example heres a couple of simple use cases:

- I set a node as the front page and I expect it to have a title
- I use the Frontpage view and I choose to set a title for it
- I use a custom Panel to replace the front page and set a title for it

Most decisions in AT are made for accessibility, semantics, web standards and following what I think are the expected results of a users action or decision. The current logic for the page title / site name is for accessibility standards where only one H1 should be used in any one page.

I think you can look at this from different perspectives and at the end of the day, if I don't set a page title for Frontpage View or Panel then the site name will get the H1 on the homepage. If I set a node as the front page and want to suppress the node title I have to do some more work such as using NAT or unsetting the title for that node in preprocess_node function.

I am quite concerned if we changed to the above logic we take away an expected behavior for Views and Panels frontpage should the user wish to set a title for them.

Marking as wont fix, I'm not sure this is the right way to go and would like to freeze 6.x-2.x.
