Because the current prototype *is* wrong: the accursed cell being
the posend, not the negend.

Actually, we often write this like

 |heading|-|  +      |
           |chapter 1|
           |chapter 2|
           |chapter 3|
           ...

i.e. inserting a dummy cell *exactly* because of this.  This is called
a corner list.  At this point, all chapters are headcells.

This is something that has already been discussed with Ted. Unless
he has changed his mind.
