Yes, there should be some general consolidation in theis area. Too many
label types which basically can be handled likewise.

Implementationwise this is handled by a single 'if' in the core. Can't
get much easier than that as there is a difference.
The only real option I see here is to have separate Styles for 'Section
in Appendix'. I am not sure this is worth the trouble, though. One
aspect is UI: The layout drop down list is already far too long for a
non-trivial layout, and having duplicated sectionning entries would make
it even longer...

Would be nice, but I can't see how your proposal helps.
