I think that the TOC analogy is offbase as thats what heading structure
provides.
Landmarks, i suggest, are more macro content areas - I describe them (in
terms of HTML5 structures) [1] like this
"All of the page content is organised into a small number of regions which
are parents of the rest of the page content. Usually these regions are
identifiable visually by design and the type of content they contain, a
user can scan the page and quickly get a feel for the page content and find
what they are looking for."
