I believe there may be an omission to a particular rule in the 'Creating
an outline' section: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/#outlines
Specifically, from the rule 'When exiting a sectioning root element, if
the stack is not empty' quoted at the bottom of this email, I believe
there should be a 6th step:
'6. Append the outline of the sectioning content element being
exited to the current section. (This does not change which section is
the last section in the outline.)'
In addition, I think the 3rd step should be changed to:
'3. Finding the deepest child: If current section has no child
sections, jump to step 6'
No, the sectioning roots don't append their outlines to their "parent"
outlines. This is intentional -- consider a table with multiple cells,
each with sections. Those sections aren't part of the document that the
table is part of -- but the cells still have outlines.
Such tables are almost certainly for layout, and it would be a disservice
to users of AT to hide sections in layout tables from the document outline.
