[Athen] at what point do you need headings?

[Robert Spangler]

To add to this, if there are links first before the content (remember -
with a screen reader, everything is linear so even if your links are on the
left and content is on the right, the links will come first for us) I
prefer to have a heading, so I can jump directly to the page content.
