Does the NumericVector class even have enough information to know
which variable a coefficient belongs to?  I'd hope it doesn't; I like
modular code.

I think what you want to modify is the SystemNorm class.  Currently it
assumes that you either want a weighted combination of Sobolev norms
of different variables or a discrete norm of the entire vector.
Extending it (and the classes that use it) to provide weighted
discrete norms of particular combinations of variables within a vector
should be straightforward.
