Sometimes proper markup exists (for example <H1>) but the browsers
display it inconsistently. (you can't make H1 look quite like you
want, because of Netscape's bottom padding....)
To be most accessible, you use the markup anyway.
<h1> does a better job at describing structure, and is therefore more
accessible to various user agents.
If _I_ were creating a federal site, I'd use markup for headers and
menus with CSS for display. If I were creating a layout, I'd make
sure that it worked with as much info as possible conveyed thru text
and markup.
