Inconsistent chapter title spacing with unnumbered chapters like bibliography etc.

[Former user]

The vertical position of the rule and text for unnumbered chapters like the Bibliography
etc. does not correspond to the position of numbered chapters.

This is not exactly a bug, per-se, but a slight typographic inconsistency .  This might
be a "won't fix", but I thought it should at least be documented as such if this is
the desired behaviour.

``` This was with version 4.0 (but affects earlier versions too) and a similar issue affects chapters in the book example where the depth of the chapter number affects the position of the rules and text. ```

``` Very good point, thanks a lot.

The latest version of the titlesec package (v2.10, p. 9) seems to offer the means for a solutions: ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf ```

First of all, I really appreciate the work you have done in putting this together. I
look forward to using it for my personal thesis next year.

I think one solution to this issue would be to "hang" the TOC section numbers of the
first hierarchy level into the margin. Everything in the margin becomes right-aligned.
Hanging punctuation/bullets is used frequently in the publishing industry. I would
argue that the default bullets/enumerates for the style should also follow this practice.
Notice that the lists/TOC use hanging indentation in "The Elements of Typographic Style".

Marking this for re-implementation/version 5.0.
