Exhibit aims to be "easy" like html, and with respect to the complexity of its language I think it succeeds. However, as we see from these kinds of questions and answers, it fails with respect to its error modes. It would be great to invest some effort in making exhibit more "fail soft", the way html is with things like unbalanced tags. For example, in this case, if a div calls for an exhibit that is _empty_, it seems to me that the right fail-soft behavior would be to make an exhibit of all items.
