1.3.1 is about making sure relationships are not simply conveyed 
visually, through styling, so the structure/relationship can be 
programmatically determined by, say, AT, and presented to users in 
different ways beyond just visual style.

2.4.6 on the other hand is about making sure that users (sighted, 
non-sighted, etc) can actually understand content properly. It's not 
about how these headings/labels are coded (like "use proper <h1>-<h6> ", 
as that falls under 1.3.1).
