You're probably right. Then again, I think there's a point of view that even when the piece parts are combined by reference, the overall semantic of the document results from the combination, just as it does when combining by nesting (inclusion). As I understand it, CDF is on a path to saying that event propagation, layout, etc. are essentially the same in the two cases. That symmetry gives me some pause. I think both points of view have merit, but perhaps it's worth just a bit of discussion before concluding that the CDF 'by reference' work has no bearing on the TAG issue. I'm not quite sure where I personally would draw the line.
