I'm sticking to my method of handstripping all recurring headers at the
tops of pages, and just leaving a page number, followed by a blank line.
For chapters etc, I put a page number at the top of the page, above the
chapter heading. If I don't have a page number, I put a -, followed by a
blank line. I'm doing this until someone says for absolute sure that the
stripper works perfectly. But I don't think it ever will, as headers can
be messed up in so many ways, making them obviously recurring to a human,
but not to a computer.
My method is more work, but the people who read something I vvalidate will
not be tortured by garbage at the top of every page, and will actually see
chapter titles.
