One (hackish) possibility is to use an empty address@hidden', and then to
have your front-end produce "Chapter" and the relevant alignment when
you need it, i.e., for all chapters but the conclusion.
Or you could augment `bookf' with an address@hidden' symbol, similar to
address@hidden'.

The best thing to do is to resolve cross-reference numbers in the
front-end and make sure to always use address@hidden' (that's what I do
in Skribilo, http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/).
Thanks,
Ludovic.
