- The heading level 1 on a page is not required to match the page title.
2222
- The order of heading levels may not always be in sequence but may be valid as it relates to the visual structure/importance communicated by visible headings on the page. For example, an `<h2>` heading may be used for a navigation structure that precedes an `<h1>` title on a page. Similarly, `<h1>` may be followed by `<h3>` without `<h2>` between them.

- Not all lists need markup. For instance, sentences that contain comma-separated lists may not need list markup ([H48: Using ol, ul and dl for lists or groups of links](http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20161007/H48)).

- A test for Visually Apparent Lists should not include navigation menus. While programmatic lists are often used to create navigation menus, menus may also be created using other techniques.
