Responder | Rule assumptions | Comments |
---|---|---|
Detlev Fischer | Yes | |
Wilco Fiers | No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. | This rule asserts that empty headings, even if assistive technologies ignore them, are a failure of SC 1.3.1 and 2.4.6. I don't think that's accurate. If assistive technologies consistently ignore an element that should be ignored, there is no violation of WCAG. |
Kathy Eng | Yes | |
Trevor Bostic | Yes | |
Levon Spradlin | Yes | |
Mary Jo Mueller | I don't know. My questions are documented below. | To Wilco's point, perhaps the assumption is that some ATs do not ignore a heading with an empty name, and so this check ensures headings have a programmatic name. If ALL ATs ignore semantic headings without a name, then why have this rule? |

Trevor Bostic | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | Passed example 3 would still have an accessible name without the aria-labelledby due to its text-content. Would it be more clear to have no text? |

Detlev Fischer | Yes | |
Wilco Fiers | Yes | |
Kathy Eng | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | I agree with 1.3.1, but I don't think 2.4.6, which requires a descriptive heading when a heading is provided, is applicable. The rule is just looking for non-empty. From Understanding 2.4.6 (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/headings-and-labels.html): This Success Criterion does not require headings or labels. This Success Criterion requires that if headings or labels are provided, they be descriptive. |
Trevor Bostic | Yes | |
Levon Spradlin | Yes | |
Mary Jo Mueller | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | Agree with Kathy. 2.4.6 is about having descriptive headings, but as part of the rules to check it, the rule would have to discover the programmatic heading and associated label. However, if all AT's ignore headings without labels then you essentially wouldn't have a programmatic heading and 2.4.6 wouldn't fail. |
