Comment (by afercia):
Worth noting in 7.0 there's at least one more page that uses this pattern:
the new Connectors page at `wp-admin/options-connectors.php`. At least
there's a H1 heading there but the inappropriate usage of the `header`
element and the ARIA landmarks nesting should be fixed there as well.
I'm not sure I understand why these pages use a full white background
color. There have been long discussions with a recent attempt to use a
full white for the admin pages background (I think in #62831). The
prevalent opinion was to not do that. Those changes were reverted. Now I
see full white again, which is against any usability, UX, and
accessibility best practice I'm aware of. It's a well-known design
principle:
- Never use full white.
- Never use full black.
