Your solution is unnecessary. A method for protecting chapter and story title
headings has been posted here multiple times, that solution being putting a
page number with blank lines around it, above the chapter or story title. This
solution has been tested by myself and others, most recently Bob, and has been
shown to yield the desired results.
The only thing I do think the staff needs to do is put this info into the next
update to the Volunteer Manual.
It is true that this is not the only solution. Others, most recently Allison,
have tested the method of putting asterisks above the titles. But the page
number method is the most elegant one, in my opinion, because whatever the
stripper does with it does not matter, since if it is not stripped, all you get
is a page number above your story or chapter title, and not some extraneous
text.
Still, there is more than one way to achieve the goal of protecting the
headings,, and they have been more than thoroughly discussed by now. (I admit
to being in full agreement with Sue S by this point in that I think the topic
is well past it's expiration date.)

Hello Everyone,
We have all been going around and around about this converter / stripper tool
and its behaviors for a very long time now. I feel the ultimate solution to
our concerns is actually quite simple and does not have to involve making any
changes in any code at this time. All that is needed is a detailed description
from the engineer(s) who created and maintain this tool as to exactly what
steps it takes while processing a book. Such an understanding could then be
codified into a set of instructions that would serve to enhance the existing
and updated Volunteer Manual so that we know exactly what we can and cannot do
when validating books.
