2.4.6 and empty programmatic headings #4655

@kengdoj

Description

@kengdoj

ACT Task Force seeks clarification on whether an empty programmatic heading would fail SC 2.4.6 Headings and Labels or any other SC.

<html lang="en">
	<h1></h1>
</html>

#2236 is related and still open.

In recent testing, some screenreaders do not ignore the empty heading. act-rules/act-rules.github.io#2258 explains that "When navigating the page using the VoiceOver rotor for example, they appear as empty headings, making the experience unclear and confusing for assistive technology users."
