You'd have to ask Straven, since it's his template.
The problem doesn't exist at all for the methods I use, since with HTML you can generate the word "Chapter" and the chapter number and display them however you like with CSS that doesn't register as a separate tag, and in LaTeX similarly, all the chapter title formatting and table of contents is done for you automatically.
I just don't know what the solution is in Open Office if you want those on separate lines with different styles. Maybe someone else does.

On the other hand, OpenOffice provides you instantly with hypertext links for TOC entries and they are so handy with ebooks..

Of course, so does calibre when auto-detecting chapters, and LaTeX, provided the hyperref package is loaded...

What's the EPUB solution for 600 footnotes on a 800 pages book? (Not at all an extreme case, It happens so for many history books).
With OpenOffice I could at least, before trying to hand over to calibre to format an epub, group all the footnotes at the end of the document.

What exactly is the problem when turning it over to calibre? (And are you exporting to HTML first?)
If the footnote marks are transferring as html <a href="..."> </a> tags, and their targets are all grouped together at the end, I don't see why calibre shouldn't do them correctly (however many there are).
I've always grouped them at the end of the chapter personally, which I think is preferable, but I don't see why there should be a techinical difference, except perhaps slower loading time if you have to bounce back and forth between different xhtml pages inside the ePub.
