GFDL doesn't allow these to be part of an invariant section. All
invariant sections are required to be secondary sections and the
secondary sections deal exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors to Document's overall subject (or related
matters). The secondary sections may not contain anything that could
fall directly within that overall subject. Acording to the license
the relationship could be a matter of historical connections, of
legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position.
