Description
Reference pages have their own hierarchical structure. A
      refsection is a recursive division in a refentry,
      analogous to a section elsewhere in the
      document.
The value of a separate hierarchical structure is that it allows the content model of sections in reference pages to be customized differently than the content model of sections outside.
Processing expectations
