I'm assuming this Spoiler ettiquette refers primarily to info that
gets leaked by some reviewer/person who has an advanced copy (like the
four chapters that we now know the title of).  But does that little
tidbit really count?  And the little bit of research/speculation that
results from that leak really isn't a spoiler.  Its speculation.
