I don't think so.  If it were 'page-sequence', then it would retrieve the
first section title in the page sequence, which means it would get the first
section title in the chapter, and not change after that for the rest of the
chapter.  I want the section titles to track the section titles on the
current page, so I believe that the value 'page' is correct.
