Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Semantic Order

Attempting to get further detail.

Forgetting visual layout completely (as I should have upfront), Here's the content as it appears semantically today:

Subheading (h2)

Sub-sub heading (h3)
Some relevant textual content.
A text link

Sub-sub heading (h3)
Some relevant textual content.
A text link

Sub-sub heading (h3)
Some relevant textual content.
A text link

Link (not directly related to the previous h3, but the previous h2)


How would you create the semantic separation between the last sub-sub heading grouping and the link not related to the last h3 grouping?

Options considered:

- Heading (h3?) prior to the link
- A div wrapping the three subheads. While W3C provides this as an
actual example, my impress is that the lack of semantic value of a div
would not provide the seperation needed.


Thanks again for any guidance provided.
