Subject: Bookmap implementation


Hi, I had looked at the bookmap implementation earlier and had found it pretty nice, but lately I started looking at it from an implementation point of view.
 
Bang, I was slapped in the face. I know it's late in the process, but I thought I should say something anyway.
 
In order to allow embedding maps in maps and to ease manipulation of a single map. I would suggest that we drop the structure:
 
Bookmap
  preface
  chapter
  chapter
  chapter
  appendice
  appendice
 
And get something that is more like:
 
Bookmap
  Preface
  Chapters (specialized from topicgroup?)
     topicref
          topicref
     topicref
     topicref
  Appendices (specialized from topicgroup?)
     topicref
     topicref
 
With the current structure, if I want to add a level around the first 10 chapters, I have to change the element name for all 10 topicrefs that were previously identified as chapters. Moreover, it becomes hard to implement maps in maps because you get multiple chapter levels.
 
France, who just woke up...
 
P.S. Feel free to slap me in the face again for bringing this up now!!!!
