After running Functional Accessibility Evaluator 1.1 from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on the boldy.d7.garethalexander.co.uk demo site.

Under Navigation & Orientation in the Navigation Bars section there is:
Warn: 30 pages (of 31) with this warning

Each ul or ol element that precedes the last h1 element and appears to be a navigation bar should be immediately preceded by a heading element, preferably an h2.

This issue is caused primarily because the superfish menu bar did not have a header element preceding the actual menu bar. If the primary menu was used this would have passed this test as it contains a element-invisible heading before it.

This has been fixed by:

Editing the superfish menu block at: admin/structure/block/manage/superfish/1/configure

Expanding the "Show Advanced HTML settings" fieldset.
In the subsection "HTML wrappers"
Under Around the main <UL>:

I inserted the text
<h2 class="element-invisible">Main menu</h2>,

This outputs the heading "Main menu" before the actual unordered menu list, but with the class element-invisible, which means it will not be displayed on the screen.

I also added:
<h2 class="element-invisible">Social media menu</h2>

before the social media icons to all the page.tpl files and commited that to the 7.x-1.x-dev release.
