What is the Correct Method to Make Linked Header?

This short blog post by Chris Coyier discusses an interesting point about linked header HTML structure. To put header inside anchor link or to put anchor link inside header tag?

Link inside header:

	<h1>
		<a href="#">Header 1</a>
	</h1>

Header inside link (valid structure since HTML5):

	<a href="#">
		<h1>Header 1</h1>
	</a>

Both methods are just fine but turns out majority of web developers still prefer the original and more semantic way of coding HTML with the link sitting inside the header.
