What would be the correct markup in this situation (page title and “rootline”)?

Question

So, in my current project, when you navigate to the "team" page, which has the path /home/about/company/team/ the header of the page looks like this:

/home/about/company/    <--- this is what i call the "rootline"
TEAM                    <-- this is the title of the current page

... content goes here ...

My current markup looks like this:

<h1>TEAM</h1>
<h2>/home/about/company/</h2>

<div id="content"> 
    <h3>Content Headline</h3>
    ... 
</div>

But it feels wrong to wrap the rootline in h2 tags. Actually, its not a headline, right? Whats your opinion on how to create good, semantic HTML in this case?

Answer 1

It doesn't really matter that you wrap it in an H2. It's semantically okay. Here's what the W3C has to say about heading tags (H1 - H6)-

A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces. Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically.

Your H2 is a subdescription of the H1. ie: H1 describes the page subject, H2 describes the location. Works okay in my mind.
