I've heard several people asking for nested section
containers in HTML+.   Could one of you please explain
how you would break up a very large hierarchical
document into small enough file pieces to be
useable over the Internet?  How would each file
piece be marked up?  I posted this question
recently and got zero response.

I'm for proper use of SGML, but this seems to be
a serious problem with nested containers (unless
I'm missing something).  Dave Raggett's GROUP tag
in HTML+ seems to be an elegant solution.  I'm
curious what the SGML experts think of it.
