In a scenario such as <body> <h1> ... </h1> <section> <h1> ... </h1> </section> </body> the second h1 element is of level 2 per section 4.4.11 of HTML 5 (and should probably be exposed as such to AT). The rank of a heading is just a concept used to determine the headings exact level later in case people do weirder stuff. See the examples in that section. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/Received on Thursday, 27 August 2009 07:48:35 UTC
