Bingo.  My, previously unstated, thinking is that certain
design choices made at syntax level can encourage this line
of thinking.  If people can only create modules, they will
have to create modules. <g>

As far as the question "What is a document?" is concerned,
my view is that a document is an end-product and thus has a
sense of wholeness which runs counter to the ideals of
reusability and modularity.
