Disagree mildly. See my arguments against this. Don't see the point.

Strongly disagree. Support why you don't want to allow documents to
be present in multiple sections; seems essential given an "index"
orientation.

Don't see what you're really suggesting here.

Should we? Disagree at this phase but intriguing notion. I could see
wanting maybe to have 'Original-Source: http://...' pointing to an
upstream, more live or possibly more up-to-date copy (i.e., say it's a
dump of a faq-o-matic or something).

You're muddling section registration with document registration. No
futher speculation will be engaged in until I have emitted the
document registration file format. Although it's late and I may be
confused on what your point is.
