It was a design decision to make the top-level of a screen consistent with sub-sections within the screen. Basically once you know about how a section is laid out you know how the screen is laid out and what the options are and what what.

Part of the original design that hasn't been implemented yet takes advantage of the section name attribute so you could do things externally with part of a screen, ie a single section, and not the whole thing. For example you could include a section from another screen instead of the whole thing. The top level section makes that pattern more versatile and consistent.

I always wondered that too. The widget code allows only one <section> element within a <screen> element.

Hi,
Maybe it's a stupid question. I did not think much about it.
Here we go : why do we need to have a section tag in the screen tag ? Is there an intention to have more than one section some day or is it a parsing reason ?
