As a workaround to this issue, the following can be done:


   - Place an empty div with an ad hoc class (super-part, in my case) and 
   an id that describes de section that will begin, as in <div 
   class="super-part" id="frontmatter"></div>
   - Write a filter to


   1. Get all divs with class super-part and return an empty <h1> with the 
      same id
      2. Get all headers and increment their level (from <h1> to <h2>, etc.)
   

   - Compile with pandoc
   - Post-process the html file to


   1. Delete all empty <h1>
   2. Replace <h2> with <h1>, <h3> with <h2>, etc.
   3. Reduce the *level* classes of the <sections> (from level1 to level0, 
   level2 to level1, etc)


Im my case, I postprocess the file with the sed Linux command, so it will 
be automated, as I convert my files with a shell script.

This, however is very impractical for ePubs, because in that case one would 
have to extract the files, make this replacements to all and only the 
relevant files, then compress it again.

I hope that someday would be a way to get a valid output for this cases 
natively.
