I'd say across all the things that can be problematic/nuisance on web pages, that's a pretty minor thing. I'd further argue that even if the text is repeated, it does serve two separate purposes: in the breadcrumb navigation, to indicate this is the current page; as a heading, to, well, act as heading for the actual page's content. In short, don't think it's an actual problem. > Are their any firm rules on breadcrumbs, or strong views for that matter :) No firm rules, as with most things in accessibility *grin* And as is often the case, it'll depend on the specific situation (i.e. how is the breadcrumb actually marked up? how long are these page titles - a few words, or as long as a whole sentence - etc).
