The light grey text under "MVP.css works with the following HTML elements:" surely fails (WCAG2).

`section` has an `h2`, but no `h1` for some reason. Other failures like this.

Other than that what's wrong?

Is a lack of H1 a dock against accessibility?

I think it would be, because a screen reader will try to call-out the topic of the document accurately and quickly. You don't want a user to have to dig through elements to find the real title of the page they're on.

hm I've worked at plenty of places that touted accessibility, and we would often leave out h1 on a lander page (there might be a few h2 instead as the highest ranking headers)
