Thanks.  But the workaround is not ideal here --- the centering block is
supposed to say "Not Cleared for Public Release" for reasons of
conditions on my research grant, and that really is not supposed to be
in a heading.

I have another work-around, but I think the general principle is that
forbidding text before the first header is not an ideal constraint. If
there's a way to have a header that doesn't produce output (a la
noexport), but that doesn't suppress its children, that might be a handy
way to accomplish this.  I don't know if that's possible (that would
also be handy for outlines where you want the outline structure to "fade
away" and just leave you with the text that the outline inspired).

Best,
r
