Heading 1 vs H1, etc.

A client's web team is telling document specialists to use HTML tags H1, H2,
P, etc. instead of Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal in their MS Word docs, which
then travel to both InDesign and directly to the web.



Web team's reasoning: some screen readers recognize only HTML tags.



Q: Is the web team referring to older screen readers?

Q: Is this a valid strategy to take? If not, what would be?

Q: Do you know of any materials & resources about using style/tag names
across different applications that I can pass along to my client?
