On this  topic I have  seen two other
questionable practices:
1. An image that has some text in it that is made
to look like a header. The alt has the text of the image in it. The whole img
tag is placed in an h1 or h2 tag.  As I use the screen reader to jump from
heading to heading, this img does get focus. And it is properly  sequenced
in terms of h1...h6. What do you think?
2. What do you think about a hyperlink  (an
anchor element) in an h tag? Like a news item isa link and in an h tag followed
by a 1 or two line short description about the news item. And then the link to
the next news item and so on.
