Using the code shown below as the basis for a scratch test, Jaws in FF and
IE reports the headings without defined roles as "heading level 2". NVDA in
both FF and IE reports those headings as "heading".


<body>
<h1>Test page</h1>

<div role="heading">This</div>

<section>
<div role="heading">That</div>
</section>

</body>
