Ok, found it. Now I think periods shouldn't be removed everywhere. In
the book, we have:

- parts: example:
III. Building the LFS Cross Toolchain and Temporary Tools 
I wouldn't like having no separation between the roman numeral and the
title, so I propose to keep the period

- chapters: example:
Chapter 5. Compiling a Cross-Toolchain
Here too, I think it is good to have a separation. Maybe a dash "-"
instead of a period?

- sections: example:
5.2. Binutils-2.47 - Pass 1 
Ok for removing the  last period

- subsections: example:
5.2.1. Installation of Cross Binutils
Ok too

Other thoughts?

Pierre
