Comment:

 > I think the lack of consensus is exactly on this point :) For
 accessibility, visible headings are recommended.

 Yes, I understand. So to enforce that visible heading the argument here is
 that this is not really a menu. It doesn't matter that it was designed to
 be a menu, was used as a menu, looks like a menu, and works as an
 application menu :)

 So there ATAG recommends that all menus must have headings? And why
 introduce the inconsistency, as that will be the only menu in WP that has
 a heading :)

 Anyways, lets review this in 5.4. Time is running out as this change was
 introduced far too late in the dev. cycle to have the time to research and
 review it properly.

 Closing as fixed for not as there is other, unrelated changes on this
 ticket. It is unfortunate that this wasn't reviewed well.
