They should be distinguishable to users of the page.  Users might not be 
consuming the page in visual form.

They will be distinguishable if default visual styling is used and the 
page is accessed visually.  If explicit visual styling is used, that 
indicates an intent that the styling be used by visual users, and it 
should preserve the differentiation.

Why would you ever want headings at different levels, but where the 
level could not be determined by the user?
