Ah. Thanks.
So if I take out the word "Chapter" the page will be safe, including the
name of the chapter. But doesn't that mean that Bob's suggestion about
putting a row of junk characters above the line that says "Chapter one"
will result in a page that has a row of junk characters, because the
Stripper won't recognize the junk characters as something to gobble up?
Would it be within our agreement not to change words if I just remove
the word "chapter" from a chapter page?

If the page numbers are at the bottom of the page and there are no
headers at the top of the page the section titles should not be stripped
as they are not repeated. That and the fact that headers and footers
rarely scan perfectly throughout the book are why many submitters and
validators strip headers, tedious as it is. However, Jake once said
something about pages that begin with the word Chapter having their
first line stripped, too.
