A problem with this: sometimes (rarely) an introduction will be included in multiple publications -- even multiple titles, what was initially the "intro" to a book being recycled as an independent essay, perhaps under a new title. An example: this essay was first published as the introduction to Hammer's Slammers It was later reprinted in There Will be war. As it happens, this one had a title from the start. But suppose the original version was simply titled "Introduction"? Would this feature make it hard or impossible to note that the same text had a publication as part of a different title? -DES Talk 12:57, 30 Jan 2008 (CST)
