I think there's been a big misunderstanding here.  I never looked at any of

href="#hi">')  I feel that I'm right at the whole-page level, but I don't
have a fully-formed opinion at the section level yet.  I see why it could be
helpful, but couldn't you use an explicit mnemonic instead (maybe a linked
"bookmark this" button next to the title)?

Big misunderstanding indeed. In fact, I realized now that even the
top section is correct as far as DocBook/BoostBook is concerned.
With DocBook, sections really have no relation to pages. There
is actually no notion of pages. For example, this:
http://tinyurl.com/z3p7f is the same as the one I originally
posted: http://snipurl.com/no8s albeit in one whole HTML file
instead of separate pages. Notice how the Introduction section,
in this case, becomes now a sub-section in the whole HTML page.
XSLT params control the chunking of HTML files. This, I guess, is
where the similarity with ReST (MPL manuals) ends. QuickBook
has to treat sections and section headings uniformly; hence
self-link.

(BTW, I stopped posting to boost.devel for this thread)
