Hi,
Oops, never mind - I just re-read the original email, and realized that
your proposed <subpage> tag has nothing to do with MediaWiki subpages
(i.e., pages of the form "A/B"). So actually, your proposed syntax might be
nice; though I would recommend to change the name of the tag. :) Maybe
<section> or <subsection> instead?
