Delivery of such content without ability to navigate headings would not
meet WCAG 2.0 requirements, however, such content might possibly meet
Section 508 compliance standards. Use of CAPS for heading delineation
is not sufficient for products to interpret correctly. So, "just say

Automated conversion of straight textual material to marked up format
should not be time consuming in anyway, so I'd push hard on this if it
were I.
