Comment (by Gab Nino):

 Hi Andrea,

 Proposed changes for the landmarks looks better. Are the changes available
 on the site version we are testing? (/trunk/src/wp-admin/).
 I agree with you for adding H1 back. I think it is important to provide
 logical order for the page structure since ''the section headers <h1 > to
 < h6> are extremely important landmarks for people who can not rely on a
 global vision of the page to get an idea of its organization or to
 navigate through the content without a mouse.'' It is also recommended by
 the WCAG 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/content-structure-
 separation-sequence.html). However, WCAG 2.0 do not consider logical order
 errors as an accessibility error but rather as a usability error.

 I'm not well familiarized with WordPress structure, but I guess adding
 back the H1 could create legacy issues with plugin added to the admin.
 What would it be the best way to convince people about getting back the
 H1?

 Have a great day!
