Dear Gustav,
thanks for this proposal. I do understand your motivation for this and
can see a document level entity being useful.
For me, however, your proposed structure would clash strongly with my
usual working practice. Specifically, I put all customizations and
settings at the end of my documents, along with, for instance, Emacs
file local variables. These are things I do not change often and
usually don't care to see. At the start of the document, however, is
the real content. So, I don't particularly like the idea of having
settings etc. *before* the content in my files.
Just by 2¢.
