funkpower 90fb977a10 colophon: six more things the front matter of a book is not ...

Read out of the review queue a real run produced, where each of these was
sitting as a proposed title waiting for a person to say no:

  1. General Remarks            a numbered heading
  2   James W. McAllister       a numbered heading
  5222 What Is This             a folio that ran into the line
  827 North Fourth Street       an address
  Page xxxvi / Chapter I        a marker
  title                         a form label, printed literally
  Sidebottom, Harry. Ancient    a bibliography entry
  To Mackenzie,                 a dedication

The numbers are the delicate part. A leading number that could be a year
is left alone, because 1984 Revisited is a book and 5222 What Is This is
a folio, and nothing else distinguishes them. A dedication has to end in
a comma, so To Kill a Mockingbird survives.

The copyright notices in the same pile are already fixed: those
proposals were written before 0.2.2 and are stale rather than wrong.
