Oh, so what you're saying is that besides being able to have
accessor-variables on a per-page basis, they would also be on a
per-section basis? It sounds nice, but is it really needed? I think it
would make things a lot harder to parse.
Would it still work for other-page access? Like,
{GroupA.PageB#data$name}

I don't, because I much prefer not having to add extra markup.
I *really* like the idea that the {$:var} stuff uses
Name: Patrick
Version: 39
State: Texas
And also definition lists:
:Name: Patrick
:Version: 39
:State: Texas
I like it because it's the way that one would naturally already put the
data, it doesn't need extra markup, which means that a lot of my
existing pages are already in the form that's needed for this.
And I do prefer the {$:var} markup.
Any idea when this would be available, PM? (waits with bated breath)
