Good afternoon,
Working within a PDF, CommonLook has been flagging documents for "document uses both unnumbered and numbered heading tags."
The document title on the cover page is tagged as an <H> tag, it is the only <H> tag within the document, as the rest of the document follows the proper heading level hierarchy tagging as appropriate.

Why does CommonLook consider this a failure? What WCAG standard does this align with that makes it a failure - can anyone further explain?

Thank you so much!
