Hmm, that does make things more difficult. I'm not looking to change the
section edit structure, but if there are no render hooks at the end of
a parent section, then it would be hard to place the </div>.

In my case, I'm running the W3C CSS Working Group's wiki. Styling is
not such a big issue, but I'd like our markup to follow best practices.
In cases where this results in a loss of functionality, I would consider
it a problem for the CSSWG to solve. :) (e.g. styling list markers
independently without resorting to list-style-image should be possible
in CSS3.) I can see the argument for the extra li div in the interim,
though, so I'm ok with that particular hack. (It's also relatively easy
for me to maintain that one change in my local tree.)
