I see it as currently, but I can't think of any cases where you'd want
to let a user cause parts of a document to be repeated.
I'm thinking about using it without user interaction to dynamically
(JavaScript) build lists of repeating items from a template. Imagine a RSS
reader that populates items from JavaScript. Having the markup as a
template in the markup seems cleaner than building it up using DOM from
the JavaScript code. I'm not really sure if it would give any benefits
though. A designer would still need to modify JavaScript if he changes the
markup.
The movement of repetition blocks also makes sense for ordering content
without form elements.
