It would be difficult to argue that history tab in the MediaWiki 
software constitutes a "title page". And in any case, many of the copies 
we distribute have no "history" tab at all, or any other section 
entitled "history"; for example, I recently retrieved a GFDL licensed 
document, 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann_Hermann_Baas&printable=yes>, 
which contains a title, four sections (an intro, and three entitled 
"Literary works", "References", and "External links"), a GFDL copyright 
notice and link to a local copy of the full license text, and some 
category links. Where in this document is the invariant section I must 
maintain verbatim?
