Hmm, I didn't think about that. There certainly needs to be a way to
group sections but also a way to group things that are not sections
without necessarily allowing sections as a side effect.
Perhaps the right solution is a concept-specific specialization of
bodydiv that disallows sections? I think that's what I would do if I
were designing my own specialization. That would certainly be consistent
with having specialized body for concept. Certainly having conbodydiv
should not be a surprise to anyone.
