Birkir,
The Group made the decision to move the technique H80 to be advisory as a result of support among assistive technologies being limited to JAWS. If a developer were to define what they need to rely on for accessibility support to be limited to JAWS then they might still make use of H80 in complying with WCAG.

Hi

I thought a recent decision meant that preceeding heading was not considered programatically determinable context.
I am not saying it shouldn't be, just that I heard a WCAG group made this decision.
Thanks
