From a "straw proposal": LK:: "For example, in WCAG document items of class "guideline" are visually distinctive... in yellow boxes, so a sighted individual can quickly scan through the document finding the guidelines. The blind user does not have an equally convenient way to do this guidelines happen to be H3's, but not all H3's are guidelines" WL: A major point of structuring is to help "quickly scan" and in the instant example that opportunity is lost to the very thing we've been talking about. Aside from the example it presents of how easy it is for a blindless author to overlook this potential ally of a potential scanner, it shows yet another possible guideline about structure although I don't know how to express it.
