Good point, Fred -- I use conditionals so infrequently (and only in 
pgf-sized chunks) that I forgot about conditionalizing only a portion of 
a pgf.

I guess the thing to watch is whether inserting the variable pushes the 
title onto two lines, thereby making the pagination different under the 
show vs. hide setting.  (If so, then using separate pgfs with negative 
space above/below would get around that.)
