Hi anne, (prefacing my comment by stating that I am not speaking on behalf of the PF, which should always be assumed, unless stated otherwise.) >the second h1 element is of level 2 per section 4.4.11 of HTML 5 (and should probably be exposed as such to AT). The rank of a heading is just a concept >used to determine the headings exact level later in case people do weirder stuff. See the examples in that section. sounds reasonable. regards stevef 2009/8/27 Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com> > On Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:40:36 +0200, Steven Faulkner < > faulkner.steve@gmail.com> wrote: > >> hi Ian, >> in the h1-h6 section it states: >> >> "These elements have a *rank* given by the number in their name.
