I agree this is a significant problem. In my master documents, I need to be able
to hide some sections (subdocuments) and show others based on the target 
audience. 

Ideally, I should be able to manage all the subdocuments with one master
document, conditionally controlled by a single user variable to select the
target audience. 

The user variable part works beautifully already for conditionally hiding and
showing text, paragraphs, and sections at the master level... perfect for
alternate spellings or selecting which screenshots and instructions a user will
see. 

The only flaw in this otherwise highly flexible "single source" design is
outline numbering. Because outline numbering is applied to all headings of a
given level, hidden or not, I must create a separate master document for each
"flavor" of output simply to get the right chapters showing in the TOC. This
means maintaining several masters if a sub document filename changes or needs to
be added, as the documented product changes and grows. 

Please put a target milestone on this! It's an important feature for global
documentation or for corporations that have several levels of users for a given
product.
