Sounds good for me! You are doing a really great job here!

Just a "conceptual" point: frames and sections are not about formatting
pages, but about filling them with well defined "blocks of content" that
are in a sense separated and somewhat independent from the rest of the
document. In fact, the only way to give format to pages is using page
styles and page breaks.

I agree that grouping frames and sections is a good idea but I'm not sure
which is the best label to group them: IMO "formatting pages" is not really
appropriate... "Content containers" came to my mind, but I must admit that
it is maybe a bit confusing for a title. Perhaps something on this line?

Ricardo
