Consider adding running headers as a list in epub navigation document #331

Description

@windymilla

At DP, where a book has running headers that change from page to page, describing the content of that small part of the book (not the repeated headers that are just a repeat of the chapter title) these are sometimes/often added to the book as sidenotes. The reason for this is that running headers are not really possible/practical/supported for our HTML or epub versions.

As suggested in the DP forum here, and subsequent posts, it could be valuable to add these headers to a list that would appear in the epub navigation document. In a similar way to page numbers being added to a list of pages, that a user could easily navigate to jump to page 20, perhaps the page running headers could be added to a list, so a user could easily navigate to the text relevant to that running header (which would be the location of the sidenote in the HTML/epub).

One possible implementation could use a similar manner to page numbers, i.e. a specific class (e.g. "pagehead") would indicate to ebookmaker that the text in spans with that class should be added to a page header list.
