I am not saying that it isn't part of the choice, I am just saying that it
should not be enforced. I am explaining choice, not commenting on the
development of the proposed tool and its availability. At a point of time,
I may use it. Of course you make mistakes, we all do, and they are not just
in the <pages> stuff.  I make more mistakes in Page: ns than I do in main.
I see mistakes in the published books, including mistakes in ToC. Humans
while they make mistakes, also are able to error resolve.

English Wikisource has more components in its headers, and is able to
adapt its {{header}} components more dynamically.  Having the ability to
tweak enables presentation to how it suits a work, and its readibility; to
this point of time, I find the automated process too restricting.
