Controlling vertical rhythm with CSS in Drupal Gardens themes.

Just to lay my opinion out there, the current use of h2 tags in Drupal Core organizes a page well, but it does little to enhance SEO. Of course I'm describing out-of-the-box behavior.

This is achieved through normalized HTML structure and CSS naming conventions as well as sufficient hooks in the HTML to attach styling to.
