Sorry, you are sorely misinformed and mixing apples with oranges.

US 508 Accessibility has been US federal law since 1986. It originally applied only to federal contractors or anyone receiving federal funds for services rendered. It has grown over the years in the US and the world has expounded on it W3c and other organizations.

Just take a look at one of the lawsuits from early on (2008). https://arstechnica.com/uncategorize...sibility-suit/

Many states already have established amounts to award ranging from $1k to $4k per.

The lawsuits over copyright images that were the big thing a few years ago have been replaced in the twenties with lawsuits on accessibility. Especially contrast and inability to work with readers. https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/2...ly-20-in-2021/

i would be curious as to where one could find this accessibility standard and how removing h1 is against a standard.
@carlwhat,
Sometimes you have to drill down a bit in the right place. There's a lot of stuff in there. Over twenty years experience mean nothing as I find something each time my mind say, "I wonder if..."

Text readers are confused when the h tags are incorrect. Without the h1, you technically meet AA standards. You cannot meet AAA standards without a logical progression. https://www.tpgi.com/headings-accessibility/

It's one of the things I want to address in 1.5.8 before it gets out. We've gotten in such a habit of just blowing away the h1 text that it's not used as it should be. Several options can be done but, with the "just drop it" method currently advised........

Note that this discussion is not based on US 508 accessibiltiy but are from WCAG. https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/

Chrome's Web Developer Tools uses an accessibility tool (WAVE) powered by WebAIM. It's not perfect and needs to be done for every view a page can give. It is a good start for an overall idea for your site.
