Also, this is already required in WCAG 2.0 through 1.3.1 (and arguably others such as 4.1.2). If authors use semantic markup as per WCAG 2.0, then the correct structures will already be in the document...it's just that your custom CSS styles (or JavaScript, or whatever else you have in mind here) need to be clever enough to deal with them correctly (which in the case of your example custom CSS means: make sure you write your selectors correctly to catch real-world markup patterns).
