I get the point, but...

Why "main menu" couldn't be _described by_ the content that follows?
It is either usual we found some styles that present only the words
"main menu" with options avoided. The options only appear when we
click/enter/ask what is "main menu". "Main menu" seems me more
something that need a definition than a describe.

I'm doubt. Here www.acesso.umic.pt I'm using only headings.
