Hmm.  I haven't looked at the code yet, but I think trip numbers are 
necessary.  That way we could have <dive trip="12" ../>, and actually 
decide which dives belong to which trip.  (I still don't like automatic 
dive groups/trips, and this would solve that.)  But I guess I've 
overlooked something.  Again.
