Making pages that just transclude part of another page strikes me as odd
(generally, you compose a big page from small snippets, not the other way 
around).

As a solution to the "ambiguous sitelink" issue, I'd rather see us allowing
sitelinks to redirects directly than forcing people to use a hack like this.
Note that currently, we can't just do this without breaking some
assumptions/expectations. We'll need to hink hard about how to get this right.
But section transcusion doesn't strike me as a good way to go about this.
