Not only would this benefit accessibility, but if search enigines implement this, it would greatly enhance both accessibility and SEO practices. Esp. given the fact that the current implementation of outlining is hardly used by authors and search engines (if at all).

Plus I'm not sure what it would even mean. Regardless, the spec's current choice of what elements get classified as sectioning roots it logical and consistent, and I can't actually imagine what other alternative classification could be attempted. Suggest resolving this as either wontfix or worksforme (since it's not actually proposing a specific change) needsinfo=annevk for confirmation/action on whether to actually resolve it
