 There are several problems with the Twenty Ten theme related to use when a
 static front page is used. I have attached a patch to resolve these
 issues.

 The issues include the display of the page title on a static home page,
 which should be omitted, and the <div id=site-title> in the header should
 instead be an <h1> element when on the front page.  I made these fixes in
 page.php and onecolumn-page.php.

 In addition when using a static home page the title element gets "<site-
 name> | <site-description>" for both the front page and the posts page.
 It should get it just for the front page and for the posts page use
 "<post-name> | <site-name>" instead.

 Finally, I added two helper functions in the function.php file:
 is_root_page() and  the_header_title_element().

 This patch addresses use-case applicability (i.e. removing the page title
 from the front page) and improved semantics/optimized seo (using the
 <title> and <h1> elements on the front page as search engines would expect
 and to help search engines differentiate between front page and posts
 page.)

 The patch may not be coded as the core devs would like and that's okay but
 these fixes really do need to be added one way or another. Please.
