I concur. Also, consistency from page to page is crucial - it makes all the
difference in the world if a screen reader user can devise a navigation
strategy at the first page and can use this strategy throughout the website
because every page on that site uses the same formatting conventions.

One note, however, I've encountered sites that seem to be separated into
sections, so when one types "1" to find a heading level 1 (I use JAWS
12.5...), the screen reader will only look for and try to find a heading
level 1 in that section and, if none are found, will report the same, even
though there might be dozens of lines formatted as heading level 1 in other
sections on the page.
