This is probably a WONTFIX, since templates can generate section headers, and that would then break parsing of templates in parallel.

only seven years for a reply, horray! :)

While the bug is pretty old now, if I recall, it was to allow for example maintenance templates to show different information depending on if they where placed at the top of page, or under a section.

Closing as WONTFIX for the reasons mentioned by Jackmcbarn.

Some of this could potentially be implemented with CSS. It's fairly easy to match the first child of div#content for example.
