Well pilgrim, looks like a busy weekend ahead at the Angle-Bang ranch! ;-)

I spoke with Steve and he will be bouncing some stuff to the list but 
the quick suggestion (comments welcome) was to add a subjectRef 
attribute to <div> which would be different from our pointer references 
in that it does not point to a place but identifies a subject that is 
being discussed. The work and cite attributes are really meant to be 
more for pointing than identification of the subject of a division.

Undocumented but cite is a reference within a work, outCite is a 
reference to outside of a work.

I assume the issue is not how we say what an entire document is about, 
but what smaller portions of a document are about?

Let me know if I got close on this one.

Patrick
