Interesting.  I've never seen them as sub-articles but rather as turning 
the page in a paper based article.  After all, when a paper based 
encyclopedia runs out of room on a page, they just turn over.  It seems 
both inane and insane that we can't also do that. And there doesn't seem 
to be a good reason, because all the good reasons are dressed up in 
jargon such that they duck the actual issue.  How do we replicate 
turning the page? Kind of defeats the now-ancient decision that space 
alone will not constrain us.
