I'm also a screen reader user. I understand the need to mark sections of a page with a heading, but what is a section in a page? :-) Is any menu a section? Is a breadcrumb a section? To an index engine, like Google, seems me that the headings are also (to me, like user is) a noble element to be indexed. What it (the Google) "think" about my waste of a noble element thousands of times repeated in my website with the words "main menu"?! When the WCAG 2.0 cames I read the note 2 of "Section Headings: Understanding SC 2.4.10" of WCAG 2.0: "Note 2: This success criterion covers sections within writing, not user interface components. User Interface components are covered under Success Criterion 4.1.2." http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-headings.html I underline "...within writing ...not user interface". I interpret this as "headings is to use in main content... and a menu, a breadcrumb is interface, so don't use headings on it". And more: I think this is a better solution to screen reader users - the user will have more diversity of jumps and will know that headings are on the main content. Am I wrong in my interpretation more or less free?
