"Visual context" definition is ambiguous #2054

Open colabottles opened 1 year ago

colabottles commented 1 year ago

The visual context definition is ambiguous because of current wording.

The visual context of a node is everything that is visually or logically located near it when the document containing it is rendered.

The feeling is this definition is too vague and would like to look at programmatic link context as a guideline to fix it.

The question is, are headings allowed because they are not allowed for links.

@colabottles can you give more context for the question about headings?

@carlosapaduarte I've been out with surgeries and recovering, I think @WilcoFiers could sum this up better. To my recollection, since links are not allowed, are headings not allowed because headings can be links as well.
