No, it would actually make it harder, because markup consumers would  
need to support both implicit grouping (been out there for years-- 
can't undo it) *and* explicit grouping.

Besides, iterating over implicitly grouped definitions is from the  
easy end of the spectrum of things that markup consumers might  
implement.
