funkpower f4497b3f0a colophon: the front matter of a book nobody typeset carefully ...

Read against five thousand real books, the title page is often not the
first thing in the file, and what is there instead has shape. Six kinds
of it were being read as titles:

  vi   CONTENTS                                  a folioed heading
  Copyright (c) 2013 by Barry Davies, BEM        a notice
  Translated from the French by Willard R. Trask a credit
  Vol. 11. HENRY JAMES, JR.                      a collected edition's list
  [PART ONE:                                     a part heading
  Piper Verlag GmbH, Munich<span style=...       a converter's leavings

Rejecting one line only moves the misread down one, because a page that
converted badly converted badly throughout, so the whole shape goes:
markdown links, stylesheet declarations, HTML entities, epub filenames,
and the sentences a copyright page sets.

The notice pattern wants the symbol or the year, never the word alone.
The first draft rejected 'Copyright and Its Discontents', which its own
test caught.

On sixty books this drops five claimed titles, all of them wrong, and
fixes six that were reading one homily's heading for every other
homily's title.
