SEO: Is it proper to have hidden headings (because of HTML5 outlining) -


let have following body markup:

<body> <h1>visible h1</h1>  <nav>     <h1>hidden h1</h1>      <ul>         <li>menu item 1</li>         <li>menu item 2</li>     </ul> </nav>  <section class="main">     <h1>hidden h1</h1>      <article>         <h1>visible h1</h1>          <p>some content here</p>         <p>some content here</p>     </article> </section> </body> 

according html5 specs (or @ least understood) says every meaningful container (section, nav, header, footer, article) should have heading (for outlining purposes). on other hand know not idea hide h1s google may think doing black hat seo.

is provided markup proper in opinion? should keep hidden h1s or should delete them?

any advises helpful.

do not include hidden content - if need html5 - create new pages , based show content in different formats. google rules changing google working on content indexing using hummingbird , not focused on html5 yet fair assumption hidden content if have intentions might flagged search bots attempt content stuffing.
