True of course.  However, the issue---as you remarked---is that of 
transclusion, which has not to do with retaining tight control but 
rather with separation.


Are there situations in which the principle of transclusion at the 
stylistic level alone has merit, even if mark-up-based solutions are 
possible and may be preferable in other situations?
