Unfortunately, I don't see a way to create my own grouping type such as
FormalGrouping. My inclination is to have nesting determined by context
rules as they are with XML. For example, the document definition might
specify that a <title/> can be placed in a <book/>, a <chapter/>, a
<section/>, etc., and the rendering would be determined by the context. I
would then be possible to have <section>...<section/>...</section> nested
arbitrarily deep, and no need for subsection, subsbusection, etc. Outlines
with the format of the enumerator determined by level would follow
naturally from such a scheme.
