No, most (X)HTML is about structure. You structure the document with the correct tags and do the formatting in your stylesheet. Sometimes I think it is very unfortunate that browser have a built-in stylesheet for tags which creates this confusion.

A good example is <strong> and <em>. It is structurally good to use. However, it is not the same as <b> and <i>. Those are about layout. The internal stylesheet of the browsers display <strong> as <b> and <em> as <i>, but that is not obligatory. Therefore they are not the same, they only might look the same.

It is all about structuring the document.

By the way, you could in this case also create a dummy <h1> and set it to display: none. However, that might disrupt your image in the screen (it should not). I like the option from Jellby better.
