A thought not really on the content, but on the structure: It might be good to have some way to easily insert new Articles, within Titles, without needing contortions like calling something Article 25AA½ or whatever to try to get items within an existing Title.

Usual ways I've seen for this in documents is:

1. Number everything in a "structure" like Title 1 consists of Article 1-1 through 1-4, and then Title 2 consists of Article 2-1 through 2-2, and so on. This means that it's easy to find which Title an Article is in given its number, and it's easy to add articles (at least if being added at the end of a given Title). Sometimes it's a little awkward to sort through since it's not just a straight number, though.
2. Leave gaps in the numbering, where Title 1 consists of Articles 101 through 104, and Title 2 consists of 201 and 202. Or, if you want to allow for inserting elsewhere between articles, even have gaps between Articles like numbering Title 1 as Articles 1010, 1020, 1030, & 1040 or the like. This can be a bit awkward since there are gaps everywhere, though.
