Sounds good. You mean like adding the number of the respective guideline / checkpoint to the repetitive heading to make the headings unique?

While I agree that WCAG should not explicitly prohibit the use of repetitive headings as described in Joe's example, I think that making some adjustments to the repetitive headings in the guidelines document increases the usability of the guidelines, sets a good example for structuring complex documents and is consistent with what we're currently recommending in checkpoint 2.4 [2]. If I'm remembering correctly, this issue was raised by a member of our working group and applies only to the guidelines document itself. It was not meant to imply that requirements for making headings unique would be introduced into the guidelines. Thoughts? -Ben [1] http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=12 [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#navigation-mechanisms
