Always on a quest for the best way to make a good Drupal site structured.. I am one to impose limitations on the user (site editor) in order to preserve good site structure, but I have come across something that has thus far eluded me.
I am using a separate Panel per site subsection with several Panel Variants therein all based on path in order to produce a consistent site subsection navigation experience: common left menu, 2- or 3-columns within based on current page, and similar side components per page.
What is throwing me for a loop is how to let the user add content to an arbitrary depth and still remain within this panel subsection? My first thought was to add a Book to show within one of the Variants, but a) clicks into the depth immediately shoots me out of my Panel structure, and b) I don't see the book menu exposed as a Page Widget like most other blocks are.
Any tips here?

node template: Panels 3 to the rescue!
Oh wow. Looks like Panels 3's "node template" based on Node Type may be a solution here. I can create any number of node types (all identical except in name) to help my users along, and by using node template panels, I think this just might do it... If anyone's curious to follow along, I'll post more as I know more.
