 Replying to [comment:39 joedolson]:
 > What if we remove the heading entirely, used aria-label to identify the
 nav element, and provided a filter by which developers could supply a
 heading if it was necessary for their use case.

 I'm +1 for that, assuming screen readers support that as well as reading a
 heading. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but
 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-
 label_to_provide_an_invisible_label has some info.

 Assuming all is sufficiently well though, I agree it's a more workable
 solution than a heading that was intended to be visually hidden anyway. It
 also gets around the issue that #29699 covers too, where themes aren't
 guaranteed to have styles for `.screen-reader-text`.
