Comment:

 Things that are important to me:

 1. That fragments of a page are only viewable (and thus previewable)
 within the context of the entire page, i.e. no individually viewable
 fragments.
 2. That said fragments have distinct URLs, whether that's `#some-part` or
 the usual `/some-part/` that then functions as an anchor. These are
 important for human link sharing and content indexing.
 3. That it is clear in various contexts that X items are a part of Y whole
 - in a list of pages, when building a nav menu, etc.
 4. That it is clear what happens when switching to a theme that does not
 support multi-part pages; or, perhaps more broadly, if this should even be
 opt-in/out-able at all.
 5. That this is not thought of as content blocks - it should not preclude
 them, but the scope really should remain as relatively simple multi-part
 pages consisting of content that would go within the post content editor
 as we currently know it (and featured images, I suppose). If one is using
 a content block or page builder plugin of some sort that displays in
 `the_content`, seems like that would still play together just fine as it's
 extending the capabilities of each section of a page.
