A question about Pattern structure

Hi all,

I've been working on updating the Sakai design patterns and making  
them generally relevant for the OSDPL.  One thing I'm reminded of is  
that the Sakai patterns began several sections of the pattern with a 1  
ro 2 word descriptor in bold.  I really like the scan-ability this  
affords and am wondering if it's something worth adding to all the  
patterns?

Titled sections, http://osdpl.fluidproject.org/designpatterns/titled-sections

and

Extras on Demand,  http://osdpl.fluidproject.org/designPatterns/extras-demand

are examples with the descriptors.

Thoughts?
