I am curious if and how HTML5 section and header tags could help solve the Section Headings (SC 2.4.10) in WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 3.5. I had issue with WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 3.5, thought it was just a rather impractical guideline for that a web page can be in many forms not just a page of content consists of navigations, block of callout content that must go after the main content (which is usually where H1 located). A page could have only one H1 and that semantically it must be the first heading in a document, this makes the SC 2.4.10 in impractical. I thought WCAG 2.0 would change it, and show warning instead of error if a page has no proper nested headings, it didn't so I thought perhaps HTML5 tags could help solve the SC 2.4.10 that very few sites able to comply. Not even these two quality sites that advocate, preach the accessibility. http://webaim.org http://www.w3.org/WAI/ tee ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
