Interestingly, most DTD's, and certainly most instances, have markup 
depths of no more than 8 levels or so (often 3 to 5). I think this is 
becaus people have a natural limit of stacking, and anything more 
results in "stack overflow, brain dumped" problems.

The deepest (I think) I ever saw for constrained (ie. required) 
nesting was the MILSPEC stuff.
