How would "TOC entry" be defined in a way that would make one type of markup for it mandatory? "In any list of links to other places within the same epub, H
n headings must be used?"
What's the objectively-identifiable difference between "linked list of chapter subsections" and "ToC links?" Who decides what makes a "real" table of contents instead of an internal list of links, which could be in standard <p> format?
And before you get to "the TOC comes at the beginning," how would that apply to omnibus documents containing several books?
(For that matter... how would you identify "Things That Must Be Marked As Headers?" Some people throw plain text into epub with no markup. Would you declare that any text that's bolded and centered must use an <H> tag?)
