I think its more a question of how you view nodes in context. I tend to stay away from H1 in nodes because normally people view the nodes in context of a section or thread. This means that the node you post is actually a subnode of a preexisting structure. I find it annoying to have a section like Perlmonks Discussion have an H1 and then inside nodes that are displayed also have H1 tags. Had you posted your doc to tutorials in that format I wouldn't have minded as in that case your node would truely be top level and thus the section breakouts you were using wouldnt conflict with the page layout as a whole.

Update:Oh, also in the situation of your node, iirc it was front paged, which is a section of many sections so the headings you chose "broke" the way the nodes of different sections were deliniated. Im really not sure how to address this situation properly. Im not really sure its worth that much effort to do so either as such nodes are only a temporary irritation as people seem to avoid H tags generally and thus push those posts that do off of the section list eventually.
