We have a site that uses the html5 section elements. Each section element has a child element within it that is a heading (h1-h6), along with other content. We're having a discussion regarding whether it is necessary to name the section elements using aria attributes (aria-label or aria-labelledby) or if heading elements within the sections satisfy WCAG 2.0 SC 1.3.1 without adding the aria labels. Should missing those aria labels on a section with child heading elements be considered a failure of 1.3.1?
