I think this looks OK the way it is. It's introducing a concept that
most newbies won't be familiar with.

Ditto.

That one looked rather odd, yes. I've rewritten it.

Eg.:
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
And so on. So I think I'll leave that one alone, too.
