Then that means one or several _additinal_ use cases in favour of having that feature. Since so many AT UAs are just «add-ons» to the visual UAs, it is quite likely that if the visual UA does not «get» an element or attribute, then the AT add-on does not get it either (one such example was mentioned in this list also). If, as HTML4 suggested more than 10 years ago, headers= could have be used for styling (I suppose HTML4 wanted to «tease» a little with that proposal), then even visual UAs would have had incentive to support that attribute. And this would have benefitted, in turn, the AT add-ons designed to work with that UA. -- leif halvard silli
