Ah, thanks for the clarification - the Wordpress example helps clarify the use case.
Apart from tracking specific classes of users, it's possible to break down specific subsections of a site using analytics' Content Drilldown. It isn't a perfect solution, though, since your visitor and source information is still broken down across the entire site, so I agree that there's probably room for improvement there as well.
