the cost of defining new yum groups?

  is there any noticeable cost to defining new yum groups?  and can
different groups have an overlap?  i ask as a followup to an earlier
post when i asked about the minimal set of packages needed to do
docbook/xml/xslt processing.

  right now, there's an "Authoring and Publishing" group that consists
of a fairly chaotic set of packages, pulling in stuff related to tex,
and the scribus package, etc.

  what if someone simply wanted to install the packages needed to
process docbook files?  can we define a new yum group for that?
what's the protocol on suggesting new groups for fedora?
