They can't, so it's indeed not strictly necessary. (Can (:if:) be nested?)

My personal experience is that when editing a page, it's helpful if you 
can see where each substructure (chapter, form, whatever) ends (or was 
supposed to end). So right now, I'm not only bothering with (:input 
end:), the script actually makes rude noises if you forget it ;-)
(well, not for the last (:input start:) on a page, so you won't usually 
get the messages - somehow I never got around to looking for the right 
place to stick the test).
