Thanks for sharing this.  It will be useful for book authors. 

Do you think it is possible to write a general headline filter that
takes care of all the various LaTeX possibilities?  Right now Iʻm using
tags to ignoreheading, clearpage, and newpage.  In addition to your
nonum filter, Eric S. has a filter that gets rid of a heading and
promotes the content, which I havenʻt had occasion to use, but also has
its own tag.

>From the LaTeX authorʻs point of view, it would be great to have a set
of tags (and options) that "just work."  Do you (and others) think the
"tag and filter" approach can achieve this?  Or, are there too many
moving parts to make it feasible?

All the best,
Tom
