Endnote in chapter header

[Vince]

Sometime recently a lint test was added checking that something that has a roman semantic is actually a roman number (s-035).

This is tripping on instances in a chapter title where there is an endnote on the title, e.g.

    <h3 epub:type=“title z3998:roman”>XII<a href=“endnotes.html#…>1</a></h3>

I tried something that lint normally complains about, i.e. putting the roman numeral in a span, and, I’m assuming because of the endnote, did not receive a lint error.

    <h3 epub:type="title"><span epub:type="z3998:roman">XIX</span><a href=“endnotes.xhtml#…>1</a></h3>

Would you rather:

• We just ignore the lint error when this happens, or
• We reformat the title to use a separate span for the roman numeral when this happens, or
• Change lint to catch this situation?

Interesting question. I think this raises an issue of semantics. If we
leave the roman semantic on the h#, that implies that the endnote is
also roman, which it is not. So in that sense, lint is correct to complain.

On the other hand, the endnote is also not *really* part of the title,
and yet we typically keep the title semantic on the h# element even if
it has endnotes.

Maybe the thing to do is to change lint so that it removes endnotes
before doing these checks. We can probably assume that endnotes are
almost always inserted into semantic content without being part of those
semantics.

I've pushed a commit to ignore notrefes when checking s-035.
