I feel your pain. The people that maintain our content are highly decentralized. In order for people to gain access to our CMS, we require them to attend a training. While they do have the ability to choose different headers and potentially create havoc, we give them the foundation for why they shouldn't do that. We stress the importance of maintaining a homogenous site and citing ADA. Every once in a while, we find people using the headers a little too liberally. For the most part, they adhere to the rules. Again, I've found that giving people the "why" reason has helped us tremendously over the years.

Good luck!
