That is my biggest pet peeve with wordpress. Tweak the template to adjust this. Otherwise, you are whispering where you should be shouting.
The problem is it is styled and it really jacks the website up if I take it off... Its a pain in the butt.
The template can be adjusted to preserve the look and correctly reflect the proper h-tag configuration. PM me with the site if you're interested in having this done for you. It can be done inexpensively in most cases.
