That's not a problem. The problem comes when you go to add entries (that didn't previously exist) to the ncx file manually. If it's first or last you're OK but anywhere in between and you're renumbering large portions.

It's not that headings get removed... it's that I don't always use headings. So when I go to insert entries into the ncx manually... I often have to renumber the play-orders.

Like I said, it's not that big of a deal for me, but it's something I would use if it did exist.
