I started in desktop publishing back in the 1990s, and heading structure was important then and continues to be for both visual and nonvisual people. Document structure helps convey the information in a meaningful and structured presentations that guides the person through the information for both print and web. I would push back and say that heading structure is very important and though not all users rely on it now, if there was more consistency, we could change that trend. We can make it easier for all users to understand our information in a way that is meaningful and useful. It sure doesn't harm users.

My two cents....
