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

+1 from me for requiring aria-level

One possible solution for widget libraries is auto detect what heading level they should be based on other headings in the web page or it can be a configuration option that authors can define based on their usage.

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


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".

Please see the minutes of the discussion: http://www.w3.org/2015/06/18-aria-minutes.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.w3.org_2015_06_18-2Daria-2Dminutes.html&d=AwMBAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=REZD8fc2AwufInstfW3L5jSLVS8bjZtAodDOhat7yAI&m=24CEOGyvfxBNdko2t1JSKrq3C_LjL44sZoTua1VIzSs&s=8hjy1IhM69EwXRy9-N-XXkZmEX1E27sOGAqTKnYIK8Y&e=>
