I'm looking for some clarification on the intended purpose of the "label" 
attribute on <book>, <chapter>, <section>, <appendix>, etc.

The documentation states: "Specifies an identifying string for presentation 
purposes".

I find this description to be wanting. The section title is "an identifying 
string". I presume that the "label" attribute value is not intended to replace 
the title, but to be prepended, appended, or otherwise made to appear in a 
context that associates it with the section (something like "Section 1-1:"). 
But the wording is so vague that I can't be sure of that.
