"Do this: <h1><span role=button>heading button</span></h1>"

This is bad advice, we don't want people to do this. See:

Consider re-wording to explain that this example should only be used as a last
resort for monkey-patching in (some) accessibility when there is absolutely no
alternative, or choose a better example.
