Thanks for clarifying (not to suggest that you were unclear to begin
with). I misunderstood your original question.

Not to quibble, but I'm not creating a list. We're talking about
sub-headings under "Verbing the Noun". The heading and sub-headings
would show up in a TOC -- and therein lies the unattractiveness of
"Verbing the Noun Using Method A/B": it creates a longish TOC entry
with potential line-length issues.

If "Verbing the Noun" appears in the running header, then "Method A/B"
should have sufficient contextual support, I think.
