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!!!!
