i understand your question as to how i would avoid making new stuff 
editable?

well mostly like we have done with tables, which (apart from a creation 
dialog) doesn't allow editing of the tables. It does allow editing of the text 
within the tables.

In the same manner I foresee that we would not allow the user to add 
sections. We would however probably allow the user to set the number of 
columns within that sections.

To be precise I think that "setting number of columns" would just shift from 
acting on the document as a whole to acting on the current section.

Note: I've not delved too deeply into how this would be done, so this is just 
a thought example. I'm sure Thomas would have some specific 
suggestions when it comes to actual implementation. But for now lets just 
think of this as discussing about when it's a bug or a feature.
