Those will exceed the display limits and you'll see a break on ADE, for example. We explain it upfront to the customer, they say "okay" and then, when they see the breaks, they get cranky. (sigh).

So, the easy solution is for bookmakers to know their craft? Or for buyers to know how to modify their ePUB files?

It was a limitation because the first Reader to run RSMSDK was the old Sony Reader PRS-505. It needed this limitation to work well.

Magnus, where is it these eBooks that show the bracketed number come from? I've seen some self-published Kindle eBooks were it was all one big HTML file.
