Garry,

Thanks for the clarifing example. I already posted a nested solution
that demonstrated that groupings need not hang around on their own,
but could be inlined with little grief.

But regardless, this demonstrates that
<group> is a necessary construct. In fact, if "index_of..." is an xref,
then

<group>
</group>

Is probably pretty much like I said it was, with the exclusion of
the ability to nest groups. Leaving out nesting of names is without
benefit as far as I am concerned. I expected to find the names
somewhere
near the data that they name, not somewhere else.

-Paul
