If the concern of the Working Group was that some people would consider using more than 5 links, then the clearer way to present that concern would be to add an example with too many links between headings and label that example as a failure. As the proposed revisions to the materials stand now, a person who wants to draw advice from the advisory technique of H80 has no clear idea of what the Working Group intends for that advice to be.

Cliff, the above wasn't the concern of the working group as I recall it. I'm sure that there are limits to what is practical and but while there may be situations where 20 links is ok there are also situations where 20 is way too much.

What proposed revisions are you talking about?
