Hi,

I have been using WCAG 1.0 and implement it in a lot of sites since
1999. 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?
