Indeed, Hans, it would be nice to be able to nest sectionlevels within

Oooh, shiny! In the TEI community, there are also people who repeat that
having <div>s all the way down is modern, and <div1><div2> etc. is old
hat. Well, I like to think about the way I structure my texts before I
write them. I'm old fashioned that way...
But seriously: by all means, let's allow nesting. But don't let anyone
tell you that explicit names are "antiquated." They make TeX or xml
source documents so much more readable! And when you have to retrace
five levels of \startsectionlevels because you want to change the
structure of your document, you will rue the day you abandoned proper
names.
they are not antiquated at all
the main benefit from using \startchapter ... \stopchapter instead of
\chapter is that we then know where something end which is handy when
you want to finish things before starting something new (esp when
grouping is involved it can get messy otherwise) ... it's also easier on
the export
