Mark,

Don't forget about Eric Seppanen's plans to implement an ignore list.  It 
seems that he's oriented more towards individual words while you're 
orienting towards header lines.   Also, he's looking at tokens after 
they're parsed and you seem to be looking at parser changes.

Perhaps the two of you should put your heads together and see what kind of 
solution you can design...
