ermm, silly me... so that's ruled out, but it wasn't my favorite anyway :-)

yeah, well, if it was a list of recipes that would make quite some sense.
but "entry-title" in my feeling puts as much weight on "entry" (part of
something bigger) as on "title". not ideal...

i still think "heading" could be a good solution.
