This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
the spec does not list headings as allowed roles for hx's example "h1 element that does not have an hgroup ancestor heading role, with the aria-level property set to the element's outline depth Role must be either link, menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, menuitemradio, tab, or treeitem" for every other element that has a default role, the default role is allowed. suggest adding heading to the list of allwoed roles for h1 to h6 that do not have an hgroup ancestor. example: "Role must be either heading, link, menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, menuitemradio, tab, or treeitem"
Why should that be done?

(In reply to comment #1) > Why should that be done? I don't understand what are you stating well enough
(In reply to comment #1) > Why should that be done? take a look at the follwoing section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#wai-aria (note: pointing to whatg as HTML5 has not been updated yet.) for any element that has a 'Default implied ARIA semantic' (column 2 of table 2) that role is specifically allowed in the 'Restrictions' (column 3 of table 2) so unless there is a reasonable technical epxlanation why h1-h6 should be different then the default role should also be explicitly allowed on these elements.
