I more or less can figure out what you need. Our take was to use a space 
as metaphor for a what we could call a "document" (a paper, report,...) 
The WebHome of this space will held the table of contents and each entry 
in this toc will point to a different XWiki document. You can them 
manage the access to each of the entries on a per user basis and 
restrict the capability of doing changes in the WebHome to whom you want.

It is of course possible to control who can read a section of a document 
using #if-#else-#end structures, but users that can read the document 
can see the used code. And users with edit rights can change it, of course.

Another options could be to use any other available XWiki technique to 
construct the "document", #include for instance, and add some link to 
edit the sections each user has edit access to. Just an idea... XWiki is 
plenty of options to do what you are looking for... the point is to 
formalize it :-(

There is a thread somewhere in the lists where some topic related with 
publishing were discussed. Somebody said that XWiki was not meant to be 
a complete publishing solution, just a tool to draw a draft. I am not so 
sure about this. Of course I have not skills enough, yet, to go ahead 
with such a project, but XWiki seems to me to be a perfect platform to 
construct the draft that will be enter any other professional publishing 
environment (just thinking about things like FrameMaker, Arbotek, or any 
FOSS alternative...).

Thanks for your time,

Ricardo
