Then, how does this make it possible to drop InnerXX contexts? There must 
still be one individual StaffGroup-ish context definition for each level of 
context nesting?

Currenntly, the following trick can be applied to achieve arbitrarily deep 
nesting. In what way will this be simplified?

\score {
\new OuterStaffGroup <<
\new StaffGroup <<
 \new InnerStaffGroup << \new Staff c1 \new Staff c1 >>
 \new Staff c1
>>
 \new Staff c1
>>

\layout {
\context {
  \StaffGroup
  \name OuterStaffGroup
  \accepts "StaffGroup"
}
\context {\Score \accepts "OuterStaffGroup" }
}
}
