It's probably just a case that your client has never thought about amending
the built-in paragraph styles, or doesn't know how to, and they certainly
won't be aware of the "blank blank" syndrome in screen readers. If you
explain that to them, and show them how to amend the MS styles, and the
advantages to themselves in more consistency, hopefully they'll change.
A11y is really all about educating clients to do the right thing!
