As far as I can recall, even before tagged PDF was invented, the PDF 
metadata included the author's page numbers.  Date and document 
reference are also part of the PDF metadata.

If marking headers as artifacts is losing this information, either the 
PDF was not authored properly to very long standing standards, or the 
user agent is failing to provide access to information that has been 
available in structured form for a very long time.
