It's intentional: under --no-headers, if a section has a number, it is
used, otherwise the name of the section is used.

This policy might seem silly in a short document with a single chapter
and a single appendix, with no sections or subsections, but it
hopefully will make more sense in a real-life document.

The reason that I decided to use "See 4.5" instead of "See ``Node''"
is that in the plain-ASCII format it is much harder to find a section
by its name than by its number.
