RE: aria-level a required property for role="heading" or a supported property with an RFC SHOULD for authors

+1 to that also from me.

Aria-level should be a required property with role=”heading”, and semantic checkers should thorw an error if/when it is missing.

+1 to aria-level being a required property, not requiring does not lead to a better outcome as it  allows the use of  headings without levels removing all notion of heading heirarchy.

The ARIA task force had issue that pertained to making aria-level a required property vs. a supported property for role="heading". 

We would like list feedback as to whether this should required or rather have an RFC 2119 SHOULD for its use as a supported property in role "heading".
