Looking at an I-D with endless submodules, I am left thinking

Costs

greater in size
more complex to understand
harder to review
more likely to have undetected errors

Benefits



What am I missing?  I have only ever seen one such module in the IETF that I can recall and it is draft-ietf-idr-bgp-model and AFAICT it would be smaller, simpler, easier to understand if it were done with grouping instead of submodule.
