> Inheritance as currently implemented means that <head> elements (for example) are inherited,
> Descendants can either accept the <head> or replace it completely with their own version.
> There's no concept of merging such elements, though this would be quite useful on occasion.
> My suggestion is to add an optional name (or id) to elements such as <head>, <footer> (when implemented), <custom> etc.
> Elements with the same name would replace their parent, as at present.
> Elements with different names would be merged.
> Since ordering is important for some elements, the name would be used to define the order (i.e. alphabetical).
> If not specified, the name would default to "main", which by happy co-incidence is roughly in the middle of the alphabet.
