The default syntax highlighting that is packaged with Vim (at least 7.3)
already colors section headings (and you could conceivably change the
color/formatting of sections if you wish).

Look for "syntax/tex.vim" in your system's vimfiles directory. That
syntax definition might give you some ideas on how you can customize how
sections (or even sections that start with "Heading") are displayed.

Furthermore, what do you think of the default folding behaviors in
Vim-LaTeX? Vim-LaTeX knows how to fold by sections, and that grouping
might serve the same purpose as what you're requesting. I know it works
well for me. A document with seven sections looks like it only has seven
lines until I inspect the fold that I'm interested in.
