The ARIA 1.2 specification for role="heading" requires that an aria-level property is also used, which is a change from the ARIA 1.1 spec, where a missing aria-level is treated as a second-level heading (an
h2).The WCAG 2.2 version of ARIA 12 doesn't mention this requirement in its examples, so needs updating.
The draft ARIA 1.3 spec for aria-level includes a useful note around aria-level values of 10 and higher, which would be good for WCAG to also mention.
