My point here is not to answer any previous message about sub-documents
(id didn't read all the discussion...)
but the discussion pointed to me the usual problem of editors to be able
to typeset correctly authors documents as they arrive ie without any
change, including \documentstyle, \begin{document} and so on. So i tried
a piece of code that can solve probably simpliest cases. May be, that point
is of no interest for the whole list... But i'd be glad that people
wanting to criticize it do it directly to me.
Any way i'm sure that such feature would be greatly appreciated in ltx3.

Have a good WE,
