It's a sub-heading, having a list of sections each with its own subheading kind of makes sense to me as one of the rationales:

<h1>Page Heading</h1>
1. <h2>Section Heading\</h2>
    <p>Stuff</p>


2. <h2>Other section heading</h2>
 <p>Stuff</p>

Not sure about the history etc.

        <h2>2</h2>
        <ol>

                <h3>3</h3>
            </li>

I was actually curious about this. There's no grammatical error in this structure. And semantically correct?

My colleague who works with me told me that the heading level cannot be used in the <li> tag, so I wonder if it is correct.

"semantically correct" is not something you can answer based on this, it depends on the content.

So only in terms of grammar?

<Noam Rosenthal>
it can be semantically correct if organizing the sections and heading in this way would also make sense for your content in a screen reader, automatic table-of-contents generator etc.

<Noam Rosenthal>
e.g. if you're using <h3> as a way to affect the style but it doesn't represent an actual heading, then it's not "semantically correct", as that H3 would appear in your table of contents as a heading (as one example)

My colleage called it a grammatical error that <h2> or <h3> is contained in <li>. But I didn't think it was an error, and I couldn't detect any errors in the actual validation.

AFAIK it's not a grammatical error and semantical errors are more about the content.
