Hmmm, must admit it appeals to me but then I always thought div1, div2, 
div3, etc. was ugly and unprincipled. ;-)

Agree that it would make it more powerful for the collection of texts 
idea. TEI handles it by allowing a teiCorpus element that surrounds the 
header/front/body/back of each work.

Hmmm, comments, suggestions? (Yes, my suggestion preserves the very 
distinction I said was without principle. ;-) But it does give people a 
familiar name for the various container. More of a comfort than analysis 
question.)
