I concocted an example in this article on HTML 4 heading usage:
http://codewallop.110mb.com/goodpractice/headingology.htm#pseudo
The example used there can be considered artificial, I don't know if
forms much of a use case.

More importantly, I believe that a document outline model that
sub-devides the content into sections that describe/outline the content
should be developed by the content author, and then implemented by
coding headings, rather than the other way around (an outline that
results from (potentially presentational) heading usage).

That aside, I'm not convinced that there is a problem to solve here, or
that a case can be made where list headings would offer any potential
benefit over using a <p> element (leaving aside the useless "it isn't a
paragraph" argument).
