Well, to take the tree model of SGML/XML that I malign on a regular 
basis, if they are all children of the <div type="chapter"> then they 
are all components of the chapter.

Or do you mean sibling <div>'s that together make up a chapter without 
being children of a common container? Sounds like bad markup, number 
one, but you could use the prev/next mechanism to bind them together. 
Not sure how such a case would arise.

Oh, you mean the second case above. Hmmm, can you give me an example of 
such a case? I am drawing blank on what sort of containers (more than 
one, right?) that could each contain parts (of the same chapters 
(plural)) and other elements that fall outside the chapters. (Not that I 
don't suspect that to be the case with mis-ordered manuscripts and such 
but I don't think this release of OSIS can deal with that problem.)
