But if that's what you want, you should be able to achieve the effect with a 'margin-top: 50%' property on your chapter headers.

I'll agree that 1/2 the page is too far down, but I've not been happy with the default placement as shown in this first image (from The Moving Picture Girls). I also would like to try something like the pseudo-watermark used in the commercial book Fortune and Fate by Sharon Shinn as shown in the second image.
