You are reading too much into my response: I simply reacted to the error
message that you got and figured that perhaps by adding a headline, it
would go away. That's a decent workaround for the problem IMO. But I
don't know *why* there is such a limitation: it may be an implementation
accident, it may be a deliberate design choice or it may be a bug - I
don't know.
