Does any front end NOT have a way to display this material? This is a 
fairly fundamental feature necessary for text integrity. It really 
should not be considered a distinctive feature of front ends that are 
capable of displaying chapter/book level material. Rather it should be 
considered a serious bug in any front end not capable of displaying such 
material.
