Right, that could also be done, and not just for 0003. I just wasn't
sure that was the right approach. It would mean that the division of
the SGML into files continues to reflect the original chapter
divisions rather than the current ones forever. In the short run
that's less churn, less back-patching pain, etc.; but in the long term
it means you've got relics of a structure that doesn't exist any more
sticking around forever.
