I note that you did not use the `help-for-help-header' face for the
headlines.  They are also manually aligned, not with :align-to.

I tried with this naive patch, which means that alignment is off, but
the results look promising to me:

In any case, I don't think using the face `bold' is best here, as that
makes this hard to customize.  I'd prefer a proper defface (whether it
inherits from `help-for-help-header' by default or not).
