Right now we could make a page "attenborough brothers", put
onlyinclude tags around the intro to all three articles, and boom,
article! This would somewhat ameliorate the problem Andrew was talking
about with incomplete linkage across languages.

This argument works if the text meant for transclusion only is kept outside namespace 0, for instance in Template namespace (or Annex namespace, which some wikis already have, or similar). Otherwise the wiki would fill up with articles which are not real articles and users expecting articles would end up on blank pages.
Fragmentation however is not necessarily a good thing.

Are there any plans to bring a semantic structure to Wikipedia? It would solve many problems if each section could be considered an entity on its own. That would allow articles to evolve out of their static textual box by becoming a collection of structured pieces of information that can be dynamically re-ordered in different ways.
