However, the spec uses the exact same wording  ("nearest ancestor … sectioning
root element" etc) about <header> and <h1>-<h6> elements as well.

So, when arguing based on what the spec says, we could also say that no change
is needed for <h1>-<h6> and <header> - they can all be used to “talk about” the
quotation.
