1.3.1 requires that a heading be programmatically determinable. This is 
not the same as saying "of course headings need heading markup" if by 
heading markup you mean h1 - h6, since even a humble <span 
role="heading"> would, in my view, pass 1.3.1 since the heading *is* 
programmatically determined here.
