If there are no other headers grouping this information, I would explain the Accessibility implications to the designer and then ask that they reconsider their layout, particularly since this is for a document and not a web page.

Depending on whether the appreciate the importance of delivering an accessible document, that may be all the convincing you need. Otherwise, this is a larger teaching moment.

Best,

Thanks, Patarick. That looks like it would work in HTML and eventually in EPUB3 (which is based on HTML5 and CSS).

In this case, these publications are designed in Adobe InDesign and converted to PDF where <DIV>, .classes, and CSS controls are not available.

So it looks like the InDesign layout won't be able to format and convert an inline head for the PDF.
