The <refbodydiv> element is similar
to the <bodydiv> element in that it provides
an informal container for content that may be grouped within a reference.
Reference topics place many restrictions on their content compared
to generic topics; the <refbodydiv> element
maintains these restrictions by only allowing elements that are already
available within the body of a reference. There are no additional
semantics attached to the <refbodydiv> element;
it is purely a grouping element provided to help organize content.
The <refbodydiv> element may nest itself, which means
that it may be used by specializers to create structured information
within a specialized reference topic. Another common use case for
the <refbodydiv> element is to group a sequence of related elements
for reuse, so that another topic may reference the entire set with
a single conref attribute.
