Talking with blind people they said that for them is vital to have a correct heading structure for navigate a page.

    Oggetto: Re: Headings test
    
    I'm not arguing that hierarchy isn't useful.  I don't sense agreement in the
    group that it should be a level 1 requirement. And I think the argument that
    Ben was putting forth, about navigation bars, was that the perceivable
    structure is not always hierarchical.
    
    This could definitely be an advisory technique. Or, we could try to address
    it under a different SC for understanding.
