No. But it makes me think of adding a 'stopper' (afsluiter) feature. 

Because 'subject' inherits from 'section', there is no need for the the
number=no, just use \subsubject. Also, beware of lower level headers
inheriting defaults! 

Note: when cross document links are turned on, (see pdftex manuals as an
example of this), text headers are handled ok, even multiple ones, even
when spanning mulriple lines, like in: 

[bf: a subsection] [bs: a subsubsection] the text etc 

If one wants to see some uncomprehensible horrible tex, take a look at
the code used to do this: typeset, unfold, combine, unwhateverbox, etc.
This is a typical example of nightmare programming.
