Re: WCAG vialations or accessibility enhancements

Katie,
With due respect, I believe WCAG do require authors to structure (1.3.1)
pages correctly. When we talk about structuring, wouldn't it require
headings to be nested correctly? I have reported them as violations as well
have seen many others doing it. I don't consider <h2> followed by <h5>
would be a best way to do.

If not WCAG, perhaps HTML spec may require authors to use at least one <h1>
on the page.

Thanks,
Vasu
