Accerciser screen-shot,  a heading exposes ROLE_PARAGRAPH. 

A heading in OOo writer document doesn't expose ROLE_HEADING to AT-SPI. It exposes ROLE_PARAGRAPH. If it exposes the correct role viz.ROLE_HEADING, assistive tools like a screen reader can use the information to improve accessibility of the document.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start OOo writer. Create a new text document. Add some text e.g. 'This is a heading'. Apply style 'Heading 1' to the text. Save the document.

2. Start Accerciser accessibility explorer.

3. Go to the accessible tree view at top left. As shown in attached screen-shot, select the accessible object corresponding to the heading just created. The Role column shows 'paragraph'.

4. In the plug-in view at top right, select Interface Viewer. The first line shows the role as 'paragraph'. The text box shows the heading text.

5. Go to the IPythonConsole at bottom.
   Enter command acc.getRole(). The output is ROLE_PARAGRAPH.
   Enter command acc.getRoleName(). The output is paragraph.
   Enter command acc.getLocalizedRoleName(). The output is paragraph.

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
